To fix the sentence, change "," after 2004 to ";" and remove the "and" before scientists. It makes the sentence sound better.

Oedipus Rex, also known by its Greek title, Oedipus Tyrannus (Ancient Greek: Οἰδίπους Τύραννος IPA: [oidípuːs týranːos]), or Oedipus the King, is an Athenian tragedy by Sophocles that was first performed around 429 BC.[1] Originally, to the ancient Greeks, the title was simply Oedipus (Οἰδίπους), as it is referred to by Aristotle in the Poetics. It is thought to have been renamed Oedipus Tyrannus to distinguish it from Oedipus at Colonus. In antiquity, the term “tyrant” referred to a ruler, but it did not necessarily have a negative connotation.[2][3][4]
Of his three Theban plays that have survived, and that deal with the story of Oedipus, Oedipus Rex was the second to be written. However, in terms of the chronology of events that the plays describe, it comes first, followed by Oedipus at Colonus and then Antigone.
Prior to the start of Oedipus Rex, Oedipus has become the king of Thebes while unwittingly fulfilling a prophecy that he would kill his father, Laius (the previous king), and marry his mother, Jocasta (whom Oedipus took as his queen after solving the riddle of the Sphinx). The action of Sophocles' play concerns Oedipus' search for the murderer of Laius in order to end a plague ravaging Thebes, unaware that the killer he is looking for is none other than himself. At the end of the play, after the truth finally comes to light, Jocasta hangs herself while Oedipus, horrified at his patricide and incest, proceeds to gouge out his own eyes in despair.
Oedipus Rex is regarded by many scholars as the masterpiece of ancient Greek tragedy. In his Poetics, Aristotle refers several times to the play in order to exemplify aspects of the genre.[5]<span>[6]</span>
Tragedy is a specific form of literature made popular by the Greeks. Fate and character can contribute to the fall of the tragic hero, though some tragedies emphasis one more than the other. Tragedy includes a tragic hero who suffers a downfall because of a character flaw or moral failing. Romeo and Juliet is a good example of tragedy of fate. Romeo and Juliet are meant to be together, but their families keep them apart. The death of the young lovers is the tragic result of this human pettiness. Macbeth is an example of tragedy of character. Macbeth becomes blinded by his ambitious, committing an evil act, leading him to his own eventual downfall. The story includes an element of the hero trying to work against fate.
