Thebes is the setting of Oedipus Rex because it is the place where the story begins.
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.
The Sphinx is terrorizing Thebes when Oedipus arrives in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Oedipus arrives in Thebes to find a monstrous Sphinx camped outside the city's entrance. She asks a riddle whose answer she demands upon pain of death. No one knows what the correct response can be. Thebans therefore fear having to go back and forth about their daily business around Thebes.
