When did Oedipus free Thebes from the Sphinx in 'Oedipus Rex'?

Some fifteen to twenty (15-20) years before the action of the play "Oedipus Rex" Oedipus is considered to have freed Thebes from the Sphinx.Specifically, ancient Greek playwright Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.) gives no dates or times for the events before and during the action of the play. But Oedipus indicates that he is not worried about what will happen to his twin sons, Eteocles and Polyneices, who are already grown up. Based upon what is known about eligibility to take over the throne, which both of his sons could and would do, the general notion is that defeating the Sphinx, marrying Theban Queen Jocasta and becoming King of Thebes happened in Oedipus' life about 15-20 years before his fall from grace as a killer and sex offender.

Is Laius of 'Oedipus Rex' an actual person?

It is unknown whether or not Laius from "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.) is an actual, historical figure.Specifically, the characters in the story of Theban King Sophocles tend to be considered as within the realm of the imagination. But the place names are actual so there also is the possibility that Laius and other characters are based on actual people experiencing actual events. Two points in favor of Laius as a real person are Oedipus' family connection to Colonus, the place of Oedipus' death and of ancient Greek playwright Sophocles' birth, and the lack of fantastic happenings.


What is the significance of oedipus complex?

The Oedipus complex comes from the ancient Greek play Oedipus. Dr. Sigmund Freud named this condition after one of the key meanings in the play. In Oedipus, the main character (oedipus himself) kills his father and marries his mother. The meaning of the Oedipus complex is a boy's natural sexual feelings for his own mother. This is shown at birth and in normal human behavior, is broken up after years of aging. If not, there's a problem-- Oedipus Complex.
