There is nothing that William Shakespeare (Baptized April 26, 1564 - April 23, 1616) directly has to do with "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, William Shakespeare authored tragedies, but "Oedipus Rex" is not one of them. But he lived during the time of English Queen Elizabeth I (September 7, 1533 - March 24, 1603). It was an age of great literary output and knowledge of the classics, such as "Oedipus Rex" and other ancient Greek tragedies.
"Rex" is Latin for "King". Oedipus Rex means "Oedipus the King".
Thebes is the setting of Oedipus Rex because it is the place where the story begins.
'King' is an English equivalent of 'Rex' in the play 'Oedipus Rex'.
The shepherd in Oedipus Rex is the person who rescues Oedipus Rex as a child. The shepherd also confirms the main character's fate.

Oedipus Rex, Oedipus at Colonus, and Antigone
Oedipus Rex is part of a four part collection of plays, three tradgedies and a comedy. We do not have the Comedy but the three tradgedies are "Oedipus Rex", "Oedipus at Colonus", and "Antigone".
Oedipus
Sophocles, an Ancient Greek playwright, wrote Oedipus Rex.
Antigone, Oedipus Rex, Oedipus at Colonus
Laius was the father of Oedipus who Oedipus killed.
