No, Oedipus does not live during the Renaissance time in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. -- 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, the play is written by an ancient Greek dramatist of the 5th century B.C.E. His characters most likely live much earlier, in the 12th century B.C.E. This guesstimate may be made because Theban King Oedipus is the grandfather of King Thersander, a contemporary if not a participant in the Trojan War (1194 B.C.E. - 1184 B.C.E.).
"Rex" is Latin for "King". Oedipus Rex means "Oedipus the King".
Creon exerts authority over Oedipus.
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'.
The shepherd in Oedipus Rex is the person who rescues Oedipus Rex as a child. The shepherd also confirms the main character's fate.
