There's no grave digger in 'Oedipus Rex'. Grave diggers appear in the sequels 'Oedipus at Colonus' and 'Antigone'. But no mention is made in 'Oedipus Rex' of the job holders or of the job. For example, it's true that Theban King Laius is killed, and Theban Queen Jocasta commits suicide. But nothing is said about those who may have carried out the appropriate funerary rituals, rites and procedures for either of the royal corpses.
