Yes, "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.) is an example of a legend.
Specifically, a legend tells a story that happens at some point in human history. The events seem possible because they tend not to be fantastic or far-fetched. The descriptions fit the play. Ancient Greek audiences considered Theban King Oedipus a figure from Thebes of the 13th century B.C.E.
