Somewhere in his forties (40s) may be Oedipus' age when he is banished in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, Oedipus is old enough to marry and become king when he moves to Thebes. By the time of the action of the play, he has two sons just about ready to succeed him. So Oedipus is probably in his twenties when he gets married and his sons are probably heading towards or in their twenties when Oedipus loses his wife, his sight, his reputation, his job and his home.
