Oedipus Rex is set in ancient Thebes.
Thebes is the city from which former Theban King Oedipus is exiled. He's the killer of Laius, his sovereign and his father. The punishment for killing the king is exile or execution. Exile is the sentence as it's carried out against Oedipus.
That he is the city's savior is the reason why Oedipus remains important to Thebes in "Oedipus Rex," "Oedipus at Colonus" and "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Oedipus becomes the disgraced King of Thebes. But he cannot be dismissed or ignored historically. He rescues the city from the monstrous Sphinx and from a pestilence of ailing livestock, dying children and failing crops.
A. Jocasta is Oedipus' wife (and his mother).
When "Oedipus the King" begins, Oedipus is the ruler of Thebes, having recently solved the riddle of the Sphinx, which saved the city from her curse. The people of Thebes are suffering from a plague, and Oedipus is determined to find the cause to save his city. He sends his brother-in-law, Creon, to the Oracle of Delphi to seek guidance. Oedipus is portrayed as confident and resolute, unaware of the tragic fate that awaits him.
