Corinth, Delphi, Phocis and Thebes are the places to which Oedipus journeys in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).

Specifically, Oedipus is transported in infancy from his native Thebes to Corinth. As a young man, he leaves Thebes to consult the Delphic oracle. He makes the decision to move to Thebes after hearing his fate as his father's killer and his mother's husband. He passes through Phocis by the roads branching off of the Delphi-Daulia intersection. He resides in Thebes until his overthrow and exile.
