As the only child and heir apparent to the king is how Oedipus is raised in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, Theban monarchs Laius and Jocasta decide to let their infant son Oedipus die from exposure rather than fulfill a prophecy that he will grow up to kill his father. Neither parent manages to do the deed so Jocasta hands Oedipus over to her most trusted servant, a Theban shepherd. But the shepherd shies from killing the baby and gives him to a Corinthian shepherd, who fosters Oedipus into the childless Corinthian royal household.
