The answer is Thebes.

Explanation for each option:

  • Thebes: Correct. "Oedipus Rex," a tragedy by Sophocles, is set in the city of Thebes. The play revolves around King Oedipus and his quest to rid Thebes of a plague by uncovering the truth about his own origins.
  • Athens: Incorrect. While Athens was a significant city in ancient Greece and the center of Greek drama, "Oedipus Rex" is not set there.
  • Alexandria: Incorrect. Alexandria is a city in Egypt, founded by Alexander the Great, and it is not related to the setting of "Oedipus Rex."
  • Java: Incorrect. Java is an island in Indonesia and has no connection to the setting of the ancient Greek play "Oedipus Rex."
