This article provides a theoretical and analytical examination of the literary-aesthetic views reflected in Oedipus Rex by Sophocles. The study explores the formation of ancient Greek tragedy, its religious and mythological foundations, and its artistic and aesthetic characteristics. Particular attention is given to the analysis of tragic conflict, the characterization of the protagonist, and the aesthetic ideas expressed through the compositional structure of the work. The research focuses on key issues such as the conflict between fate and free will, the process of searching for truth, and the concept of the tragic hero. In addition, the aesthetic essence of tragedy is examined through Aristotle’s theory of Catharsis.
