There were few other entertainment options in Shakespeare's day. They had their version of reality shows in public executions, their version of self-improvement courses in sermons, their version of sports in bearbaiting and cockfights, and their version of musical theatre in masques.

Plays that are connected to 'Oedipus Rex' include those written by Aeschylus [c. 525/524 B.C.E. - 456/455 B.C.E.] and Sophocles [496 B.C.E.-406 B.C.E.]. Aeschylus wrote 'Laius', 'Oedipus', 'The Sphinx', and 'Seven against Thebes'. Sophocles wrote 'Oedipus Rex', 'Oedipus at Colonus', and 'Antigone'.

No, Aeschylus did not write a play called "Oedipus Rex."Specifically, Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.) was an ancient Greek playwright and the play's author. Aeschylus (525/524 B.C.E. - 455/456 B.C.E.) also wrote about Thebes, but in terms of Theban King Oedipus' contentious children. His play, "Seven Against Thebes," covers what happens between the death of Oedipus in "Oedipus at Colonus" and the referenced deaths of his sons Eteocles and Polyneices in "Antigone."
