''[[Oedipus]]'' (''[[Oidipus]]'') is a tragic play that was written by Lucius Annaeus Seneca at some time during the 1st century AD. It is a retelling of the story of [[Oedipus]], as told in ''[[Oedipus Rex|Oedipus the King]]'' by the Athenian playwright, Sophocles. It is written in Latin and was not intended to be performed, but rather recited at private gatherings.

However, it has been very influential, the source of a number of adaptations itself, including ''[[Oedipus by Ted Hughes|Oedipus]]'' by Ted Hughes (1969), ''[[Oedipus]]'' by [[Hugo Claus|Oedipus]] by [[Hugo Claus]] (19**),
