Apollo the sun god is the Delian Healer. Such is his description by the chorus. The reference is in the very first ode of 'Oedipus Rex'.
"Rex" is Latin for "King". Oedipus Rex means "Oedipus the King".
Thebes is the setting of Oedipus Rex because it is the place where the story begins.
Apollo is the healer in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the characters and the chorus most often invoke Apollo. Apollo is the sun god as well as the god of prophecy and of healing. Fate, healing, light, prophecy and wisdom all play important parts in the lives of the characters, and particularly of the Theban monarchs.
'King' is an English equivalent of 'Rex' in the play 'Oedipus Rex'.
The shepherd in Oedipus Rex is the person who rescues Oedipus Rex as a child. The shepherd also confirms the main character's fate.
