No, "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.) is not a fable.

Specifically, the term fable describes a short narrative that involves animals with human traits and that illustrates a moral. The description does not fit. Instead, Oedipus' story is presented in dramatic format with themes illustrated by human characters and divine forces.
