Jesus, I know Oedipus wasn't alive! I mean what time did Sophocles write it about? Back then, how would you express the date?

Give me strength.
Oedipus Rex is a fictional character from a greek play; therefore he was never "alive." If you want to find out about Greek food from the ancient period, you're going to have to go a little further than the menu at your local coney. And, no, they did not have the Gregorian calendar at that time, nor were the Greeks using Roman numerals.

Oedipus Rex is not the mythological Oedipus, it's a metaphor
