It is by having one time, place and action that the three unities are followed in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, the action needs to present and solve one problem regarding the main character. The place must be the same for all onstage action even though previous and offstage places may be introduced through the commentary of the chorus, the conversations of the characters or the pronouncements of messengers or servants. The time has to be within one day.
