It is from the information given him by Teiresiasand by the Corinthian messenger and the Thebanshepherd that Oedipus figures out who he is in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, Theban King Oedipus is investigating King Laius' murder. His advisor, Teiresias the blind prophet, identifies him as the killer. Teiresias' accusation seems treasonous and unfounded, but Oedipus redirects the investigation. This turn takes Oedipus to answers from the Corinthian messenger about parentage and from the Theban shepherd about parentage and murder.
