It is the Corinthian messenger who first says that Oedipus is Theban born in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, Theban King Oedipus hears of the death of his presumed father, Corinthian King Polybus. He disappoints the Corinthian messenger by rejecting the offer of the Corinthian crown and throne. He considers it unwise to accept since he is prophesied to kill his father and marry his mother. The Corinthian messengers quickly answers that Oedipus can rule Corinth since Corinthian monarchs Polybus and Merope are not his biological parents and that Oedipus is Theban not Corinthian born.
