Yes, "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.) can be considered a play of destiny.
Specifically, destiny implies the seat of control over the events in human lives as being beyond human reach. What happens in human lives is predetermined. This is a way of looking at Theban King Oedipus' life. Everything that Oedipus chooses to do to thwart an unenviable prophecy regarding his fate just brings him closer to that destiny's realization.
