There is nothing that William Shakespeare (Baptized April 26, 1564 - April 23, 1616) directly has to do with "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).

Specifically, William Shakespeare authored tragedies, but "Oedipus Rex" is not one of them. But he lived during the time of English Queen Elizabeth I (September 7, 1533 - March 24, 1603). It was an age of great literary output and knowledge of the classics, such as "Oedipus Rex" and other ancient Greek tragedies.
