Thespis does not appear in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, Thespis (fl. 6th century B.C.E.) has the reputation of being the world's first known actor. He lived in the century before the ancient Greek dramatist wrote his plays about the life and times of disgraced Theban King Oedipus (fl. 12th century B.C.E.). He was not part of the Theban royal family and therefore was not among the cast of characters or chorus.
"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.

After Thespis speaks his lines is the point in time at which "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles is written.Specifically, Thespis (fl. 6th century B.C.E.) was the world's first known actor. Dates are not forthcoming regarding the events in Thespis' life other than his victory in a competition that was held in the ancient Greek city of Dionysia on November 23, 534 B.C.E. In contrast, it is guesstimated that Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.) wrote his play in the middle of the fifth (5th) century B.C.E., around 429 B.C.E.
