Yes, there is alliteration in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).

Specifically, alliteration is a literary device whereby at least two successive words begin with the same letter. The precise examples supplied from the play depend upon the particular version that is being consulted. But one early example can be found in the Prologue, where the priest of Zeus speaks of "suppliant sticks."
