Best Answer

Somewhere in his forties (40s) is most likely Oedipus' age in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).

Specifically, Theban King Oedipus has four children. His twin sons, Eteocles and Polyneices, inherit the throne. Oedipus is married and reigning long enough to have a reputation for personal happiness and professional success. That puts him in the early to middle forties.
