Yes, "Oedipus Rex" was written after Homer's "Iliad."
Specifically, ancient Greek poet Homer is thought to have written "The Iliad" sometime during the 8th century B.C.E. The events in "The Iliad" relate to the Trojan War and mentions Theban King Oedipus. In contrast, ancient Greek dramatist Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.) is thought to have written "Oedipus Rex" around 429 B.C.E.
