Yes, Oedipus is separated from his children in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).

Specifically, disgraced Theban King Oedipus asks to meet with his young daughters, the sister Princesses Antigone and Ismene. He does not ask to meet with his sons, the twin brother Princes Eteocles and Polyneices. He is supposed to be placed under house arrest pending divine indication of whether he is to be executed or exiled. His brother-in-law and royal successor, King Creon, therefore separates father from daughters immediately after the meeting is over.

What is the chronological order to Oedipus learning of his adoption the pestilence occurring in Thebes Oedipus blinding himself and Oedipus being separated from his children in 'Oedipus Rex'?

The occurrence of the pestilence in Thebes and then Oedipus learning of his adoption, blinding himself and being separated from his children is the sequence in which the preceding events occur in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the play begins with the pestilence. It is in the last quarter of the play that Oedipus learns of his adoption. This is sobering news since it is the first step towards casting off his mistaken self-image and realizing the full horrors of his true identity. With the knowledge that he is his father's killer and his mother's husband, he blinds himself with his dead wife's brooches. He then is ready to be punished with execution or exile. But while he awaits divine judgment, he is separated from Princesses Antigone and Ismene, his daughters and his half-sisters.
