No, Oedipus does not curse Thebes in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, Theban King Oedipus is angry, horrified and upset to discover that his life is exactly as it is fated to be. But he never lets any of these emotions be expressed against his beloved Thebes.

The second takes place when Theban King Oedipus ends the pestilence by identifying the killer of his royal predecessor, King Laius. Both curses are divine in origin, and both are leveled against Thebes for not carrying out mandatory cleansing rituals in the aftermath of a king's murder, a serious offense in ancient Greece.
