* In Creator/OsamuTezuka's children's manga ''Manga/{{Unico}}'', Oedipus makes a brief appearance in "The Tale of the Fangs of Athens" when a mother sphinx ([[ADogNamedDog named "Sphinx"]]) explains to [[{{Unicorn}} Unico]] that she ended up badly wounded after he solved her riddle. The protagonist ends up becoming a parental figure to [[OurSphinxesAreDifferent Piro/Marusu]] (Sphinx's son) where he teaches him to be a "Brave and study sphinx" after her death. Taking her advice, Unico takes her son to a forest to teach him about the importance of self-defense and bravery. Occasionally, some of Oedipus' soldiers would visit the forest causing Unico to scare them off to protect Piro.

* ''VideoGame/GodOfWarRagnarok'': Mimir mentions the play to Atreus as an example of how the smallest lack of information from a prophecy can lead to wildly different conclusions (in the case, Oedipus not being aware that he was adopted). Mimir asks Kratos if he knew it, who responds that every Spartan knew the story of the "Theban king". The two discuss the play again later on, when Mimir criticizes it for being [[ShowDontTell mostly composed of speeches and people giving terrible news, instead of actually dramatizing the descripted events on-stage]]. However, Kratos argues that unfolding a narrative in a single time and place uninterruptedly was a tradition in Greek theatre, as it'd make the Tragedy more clear to the audience.
