Around 1200 BCE.
No one is Theban King Creon's stepfather in 'Oedipus Rex'. Neither is Creon the stepfather to anyone in the play. But what does happen is future King Oedipus' adoption by King Polybus and Queen Merope of Corinth.
No, Polybus is not Creon's brother in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. -- 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Polybus is the King of Corinth and the foster father, not the biological father, of Theban King Oedipus. Oedipus is the nephew and cousin of Theban King Creon. Oedipus is heir to the Corinthian throne, which he nevertheless does not claim. If he had, the royal lines of Thebes and Corinth would be related through Oedipus' descendants.
No, Creon in 'Medea' wasn't the same as Creon in 'Antigone'. In the first case, Creon was the King of Corinth and the father of Princess Creusa. Both father and daughter were killed by Medea, who didn't want to let go of her husband Jason. In the second case, Creon was the King of Thebes. He also was the father of Megara and thereby father-in-law to Heracles. He was killed by Lycus, who was Nycteus' brother. Nycteus was the father of Nycteis, who married Theban King Polydorus. Their son, Theban King Labdacus, was the father of Theban King Laius, who married Creon's sister Jocasta.
A. Jocasta is Oedipus' wife (and his mother).
King Creon
No, he was the adopted son of the king of Corinth, Polybus.
Agamemnon is a character from Greek mythology. He was said to have ruled the "real-life" area of Mycenae or Argos. Both places are thought to have been one in the same. Corinth, however, is about 30 km north.
Creon's role is the king.
In the play Oedipus the King he tells Jocasta that he has come from Corinth to tell Pedipus that his father Polybius id dead and that Corinth wants him to be their king.

Of no country is Creon King. Instead, Creon is King of the city of Thebes. It doesn't come out in the play. But Creon actually is serving as regent. The ruler is supposed to be Laodamas, the son of Creon's nephew Eteocles. But Eteocles is dead, and Laodamas is too young to rule at the moment.
