Ancient Greece is the country in which the play "Oedipus the King" is set.Specifically, the play's author Sophocles (c. 496 B.C.E. - c. 406 B.C.E.) sets the opening scene outside the royal palace of Thebes. It is clear that he means the ancient Greek city, not the ancient Egyptian place name. One way that Sophocles makes this clear is by having the characters and the chorus refer to other places in Greece, such as Corinth and Delphi. The characters and the chorus also reference names from ancient Greek mythology, such as Cadmus and Zeus.
