Does Oedipus live during the Renaissance in 'Oedipus Rex'?

His characters most likely live much earlier, in the 12th century B.C.E.

Yes, Oedipus can be regarded as responsible for the death and suffering in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Oedipus is responsible for the death of King Laius and four of Laius' five member escort party. He most likely can enter a successful plea of self-defense since he is outnumbered. In fact, Laius and his charioteer behave badly, hurtfully and offensively. Oedipus subsequently becomes responsible for the suffering of his people because of the pestilence brought on by his neglect of mandatory cleansing rituals in the aftermath of his crimes.
Why might Sophocles have selected this character to introduce the play in Oedipus the king?
Sophocles likely selected the character of Oedipus to introduce the play because he embodies the themes of fate, free will, and the quest for truth central to the narrative. Oedipus's role as a heroic yet tragic figure immediately engages the audience, setting the stage for his journey from confidence to despair. His position as a ruler seeking to save his city from plague also highlights the responsibility and moral dilemmas that come with leadership, making his eventual downfall all the more poignant. This introduction establishes a dramatic tension that resonates throughout the play.
