The exposition is the setting forth of the play. It comes from the Latin preposition 'ex' for 'out', and the Latin infinitive 'ponere' for 'to place'. That role is taken by one of the actors in the 1957 film version of 'Oedipus Rex' by Sir William Guthrie [July 2, 1900-May 15, 1971]. The actor holds his mask and wears blue robes while he explains the story. But nowhere within the film's credits or on the video jacket is that actor identified.
"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.
Laius was the father of Oedipus who Oedipus killed.
Antigone, Oedipus Rex, Oedipus at Colonus
It is the climax when Oedipus realizes that he is his father's killer and his mother's husband in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the term climax describes the turning point of highest drama and tension. The description fits Theban King Oedipus realizing that all the prophecies are true in regard to his predicted fate.
