Who is Oedipus' brother-in-law in Oedipus Rex?
Creon
Why does Oedipus accuse Creon of treason in 'Oedipus Rex'?
That he thinks Creon seeks to overthrow him is why Oedipus accuses Creon of treason in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. -- 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, treason can involve opposition to and overthrow of the current ruler. Teiresias the blind prophet accuses Theban King Oedipus of being the killer of Theban King Laius. Oedipus is not aware of ever having met Laius. But such an accusation can result in Oedipus' overthrow, from which the most obvious beneficiary is Creon, as Oedipus' brother-in-law and co-ruler.
What information does Creon share with Oedipus in 'Oedipus Rex'?
The source and the countermeasures to the pestilence that afflicts Thebes is the information that Theban King Creon shares with Oedipus, his brother-in-law, co-ruler and nephew in the play "Oedipus Rex."Specifically, Creon consults with the Oracle of the shrine to Apollo. He learns that the entire city is polluted from the unsolved mystery of the death of Laius, Creon's brother-in-law and royal predecessor. He also learns that the pestilence will be ended with the identification and execution or exile of the person or persons who killed Laius.
What is the theory that Oedipus immediately develops about Laius' death in 'Oedipus Rex'?

He hears what his brother-in-law and royal colleague Creon has to say. Creon identifies robbers on the basis of the sole surviving eyewitness to Laius' murder. Oedipus observes that money from Laius' enemies in Thebes is behind the crime and that the same can happen to him as current king of Thebes.
What is Creon's relationship to Oedipus in the play 'Oedipus Rex'?
Brother-in-law and uncle is Creon's relationship to Oedipus in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Creon is Theban Queen Jocasta's brother. Jocasta is the wife and the mother of King Oedipus. Oedipus therefore is both brother-in-law and nephew to Creon.

That the murder happens away from Thebes and that it is the act of robbers are clues that Creon gives about Laius' murder in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Oedipus has to identify and punish the guilty in the murder of his royal predecessor, King Laius.

Creon defends himself. He says that Oedipus need only check with the Delphic oracle. The oracle will confirm that the pestilence can be ended only with the identification and punishment of the guilty in King Laius' murder.
