Oedipus Rex is a tragedy because The main character (Oedipus) suffers a major loss of some sort that tears his/her life apart. The play can be called a Greek tragedy because hubris (pride or arrogance) is a main theme. The fact that the belief in gods and fate are very prevalent also make Oedipus Rex a Greek tragedy.
Oedipus is born a prince, but there is a prophecy that he will kill his father and marry his mother. So, his dad (the king) sends out a servant to kill him. Instead, of course, a shepherd finds, adopts, and raises him. Fast forward 20 something years. Oedipus is on his way somewhere, a noble is being very rude to him, so Oedipus kills the guy. Then he goes to a kingdom where the king has just been murdered. So, tadaa! He marries the queen and she bears him a few kids. Then he finds out about the prophecy, and that he has actually fulfilled it. Oedipus is so tormented that he gouges his eyes out. The end. The entire story is a tradgedy.
