Marcus Junius Brutus [June 85 B.C.E.* - October 42 B.C.E.] is manipulated into killing his friend, Gaius Julius Caesar [July 13, 100 B.C.E.* - March 15, 44 B.C.E.]. Oedipus likewise can be said to be manipulated, by the gods, into killing his own father and sovereign. Brutus ultimately is tracked down by Marcus Antonius [c. January 14, 83 B.C.E.* - August 1, 30 B.C.E.], Oedipus by fate.
Both characters end up disgraced because of their acts. Brutus commits suicide after his defeat at the second battle of Philippi. He's given an honorable burial. But history doesn't forget that he betrayed his friend. And yet it indeed is the noble cause that draws Brutus astray. The assassins are motivated by the increasingly dictatorial and self serving hold of Caesar over Roman society.
In contrast, Oedipus doesn't commit suicide. Instead, he's allowed an honorable death in which his body is there one minute, gone the next. But like Brutus, his memorial is honorable. In fact, he's buried on sacred ground, and his presence is foretold and upheld as lucky to the area.
Unlike in the case of Brutus, history therefore is kinder to Oedipus. The disgraced Theban King is reinstated posthumously. And yet, ironically, Oedipus doesn't kill nobly. Instead, his murderous act results from a street brawl over a right-of-way.

Brutus was a protégé of Caesar, and was considered to be one of his closest friends. That is why Caesar said "Et tu, Brute?" (What? You too, Brutus??) when Brutus stabbed him, and why Antony calls Brutus Caesar's angel.
Brutus's purpose was to control the crowd as was Anthony's. Brutus began his speech with a hostile crowd against him as a murderer of the popular Julius Caesar.
