No, there is no war in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. -- 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, the violence that occurs does not take place on the battlefield. Instead, there is a mental war of wits in which the loser Sphinx kills herself and the victor Oedipus becomes King of Thebes. That incident is preceded by a violent street brawl over a right-of-way that leaves five people dead. It subsequently is succeeded by the violent suicide of Oedipus' wife and by Oedipus' violent self-blinding.
