Fate versus free will are philosophical positions that are evident in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. -- 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, the position of fate is evidenced by the relentless realization of the dreadful fate of killing a father and marrying a mother. It also is manifest in the insights of Teiresias the blind prophet and in some of the words of Theban King Oedipus. But at the same time, the position of free will is represented by Oedipus as well as his wife Jocasta and her first husband Laius. All three make concerted efforts to sabotage fate and subvert divine will.
