429 BCE

Sophocles (who may have served as general during the Peloponnesian War) writes the tragedy Oedipus Rex (more properly called Oedipus Tyrannus), which may have first been produced in about 429 (or possibly as late as 425).

The powerful play deals with the inexorable nature of fate and the tragic consequences of hubris.
