Help me make my thesis into one sentance

Sophocles' play "Oedipus Rex,'' fits several criteria in the tragic hero archetype; According to Aristotle, a tragic hero is "a literary character who makes a judgement error that inevitably leads to his/her own destruction," This is an accurate description of Oedipus' role in the Greek tragedy, as his lapses in judgement (marrying his mother and killing his father) ultimately led to his physical and emotional downfall. In addition, there are several other - more specific - traits the tragic hero archetype shares with Oedipus.

Answer:

For example, Oedipus Rex, the title character of Sophocles’ tragedy, is considered a classic tragic hero. Oedipus experiences a terrible downfall due to hubris as his tragic flaw. As a result, the audience is left to sympathize with his tragic fate.

this is two sentences but it gets streat to the point.
