Freud described Oedipus complex as an aspect of gender development in boys. The boy is said to lust after his mother, and thus see his father as a rival. He fears his father finding out and cutting off his penis. This is resolved by him identifying with his father and so becoming more able to find a mate. All these thought processes are said to be subconscious.

What do his confrontations with Creon and Tiresias tell us about Oedipus in 'Oedipus Rex'?

That he is reckless and stubborn are what his confrontations with Creon and Teiresias tell us about Oedipus in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Oedipus does not like the interpretation of events that he gets from his royal advisor, Teiresias the blind prophet. Teiresias' treasonous charges can lead to Oedipus' overthrow and exile or execution. But Oedipus acts groundlessly, recklessly and stubbornly. He accuses Teiresias of conspiring with Creon, Oedipus' brother-in-law and royal colleague, and refuses to back down despite spirited but reasonable defenses from two people whom he has known his entire time in Thebes.
