Who wrote the play "Oedipus Rex"?

Homer
Socrates
Aristotle
Sophocles

The correct answer is: Sophocles

"Oedipus Rex" was written by Sophocles, a famous tragedian in ancient Greece. While Homer is known for epic poems such as the Iliad and the Odyssey, Socrates and Aristotle were both philosophers, not playwrights. Therefore, the correct answer is Sophocles, as he is the only option who was a playwright and known for writing tragedies such as "Oedipus Rex".
