It is in "Oedipus Rex" and "Oedipus at Colonus" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.) that Oedipus appears.

Specifically, Theban King Oedipus is the main character in the above-mentioned plays. He makes appearances in both. But characters also make references to him in "Antigone" by the same ancient Greek dramatist as well as in the equally accessible "The Iliad" by Homer (fl. eighth century B.C.E.) and "Seven Against Thebes" by Aeschylus (525/524 B.C.E. - 455/456 B.C.E.).

A request to go back home, a reluctance to share, and a charge of royal guilt are what the prophet does when Oedipus asks him about the murderer in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Oedipus needs to identify and punish the killer of his royal predecessor, Laius. He requests the presence and counsel of Teiresias the blind prophet, advisor to every King of Thebes since the city's founding by Oedipus' ancestor, Cadmus.

There's no grave digger in 'Oedipus Rex'. Grave diggers appear in the sequels 'Oedipus at Colonus' and 'Antigone'. But no mention is made in 'Oedipus Rex' of the job holders or of the job. For example, it's true that Theban King Laius is killed, and Theban Queen Jocasta commits suicide.
