That it in essence supports the status quo is the reason why "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.) may be called more conservative than progressive.

Specifically, the term conservative describes keeping going something that already is in effect. The term progressive describes considering more recent and updated options. The first description fits the play, which explains the fateful divine viewpoint and essentially shows weaknesses in a free will explanation of human existence.
