King Laius and Queen Jocasta had a male child, Oedipus. It was prophesied that Oedipus would cause their demise if he stayed. So, they arranged for a servant to take him and kill him.
The servant tied Oedipus' ankles together to hang him off a tree to die but couldn't go through with the plan and gave the baby to a Shepherd. That Shepherd handed the child off to the King and Queen of Corinth.
The King and Queen of Corinth took in Oedipus as their own and raised him. Many years later, a drunk told Oedipus that they were not his biological parents,; they both denied it. Oedipus then went to an Oracle, who predicted that Oedipus would kill his father and marry his mother. He then left his home and went to the city of Thebes.
Oedipus and his biological father come to a crossroads, both unaware of their relationship and one his father's servants pushes Oedipus out of the way. This causes a fight to break out and Oedipus kills them all. He then travels toward the city of Thebes and encounters a Sphinx.
As Oedipus comes face to face with the Sphinx, the creature presents a riddle . Oedipus was able to come up with the correct answer. The Sphinx allowed him to pass through and continue his way to Thebes. His prize for outwitting the Sphinx is to of marry Queen Jocasta.
Oedipus in now married to his own motherand they have four children together. They do not find out for many years that they are in fact son and mother. The mother hangs herself and Oedipus gouges out his eyes with his mother's pin after seeing her dead body. His two daughters/sisters go with him to guide and help him when he is exiled out of Thebes and into the desert. He later dies in Colonus.
