No, Oedipus is not an innocent victim of an unjust fate in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, Theban King Oedipus hears that he is fated to be his father's killer and his mother's husband. The fate is unjust. But Oedipus makes panic stricken choices that make possible the very fate that he so seeks to avoid.
of course we can, but his innocent needs to prove it through the prophecy , fate and destiny
this question is actually a question that regards a persons opinion. in my opinion, if we are discussing the same oedipus, he is not a "Victim" of fate, because in greek mythology the fates are creatures that are very nasty. "Fate" as in destiny though, that is a whole other matter. i think it was oepidus's destiny to lose his wife, just to teach people a lesson.
He blames you for his fate.
Killing his father and marrying his mother is Oedipus' fate in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Oedipus hears his fate from the Delphic oracle. The oracle is respected throughout ancient Greece for her insights into divine will and fate. She says that Oedipus is fated to kill his father and marry his mother.
That he will kill his father and marry his mother is Oedipus' fate in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Oedipus' fate is revealed two times. The first time is to his parents, Theban monarchs Laius and Jocasta, who hear that he will kill his father. The second time is to Oedipus, who learns his fate is to kill his father and marry his mother.

Oedipus is often portrayed as both arrogant and a victim in Greek mythology. His arrogance and pride lead him to unknowingly fulfill the prophecy of killing his father and marrying his mother, but he is also a victim of circumstances beyond his control, such as the gods' will and fate.
That his fate comes true is the way in which Oedipus is a victim of the destinies in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Oedipus hears a horrible prophecy that he will kill his father and marry his mother. He makes the decision to do whatever he can think of to keep that fate from unfurling. But every single choice he makes, every single action that he takes just operates to make every single detail of that prophesied fate come true. Fate therefore victimizes Oedipus in never letting go of him until he indeed ends up, and becomes known by all for, killing his father and marrying his mother.
He blames you for his fate.
A great example of fate is Oedipus.

Yes, life is unfair to Oedipus in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Oedipus gets a fate that he does not deserve. His fate is determined before he is born. Once he learns of his fate as an adult, he makes efforts to outrun it and outwit the gods.
he blames the god of balls
The incarnation of free will versus fate is the contrast between Oedipus and Teiresias in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Oedipus represents freely chosen actions to avoid an unenviable prophesied fate. Teiresias the blind prophet represents fate. He seeks for Oedipus' fate to be realized to the last horrific personal and professional detail. He starts the relentless process by accusing Oedipus of being King Laius' killer.
No, Oedipus does not deserve his fate in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, his fate is to kill his father and marry his mother. He does what he can to avoid offending mortals and blaspheming the gods. But he cannot escape the gods, who do not let up once they decide to pick on someone.
