"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.
'King' is an English equivalent of 'Rex' in the play 'Oedipus Rex'.
In his sixties is the age at which Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.) wrote "Oedipus Rex."Specifically, it is not known for sure exactly when the ancient Greek dramatist wrote his play about the life and times of Theban King Oedipus. But it generally is guesstimated as no later than 430 B.C.E. That gives the playwright an age of 65 at the latest.
Sophocles wrote the Oedipus cycle.Specifically, Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.) was an ancient Greek dramatist. He was born in Colonus and died in Athens, both places of which are linked with the story of disgraced Theban King Oedipus. He wrote around 123 plays, of which seven survive and of which three of those surviving are the Oedipus cycle: "Oedipus Rex," "Oedipus at Colonus" and "Antigone."
