Who or where does circe tell odysseus he must visit and speak with the blind prophet teiresias?

The journey to the underworld of Hades to speak to the dead Theban prophet Teiresias is a command given to Odysseus by the enchantress Circe. Circe, who was initally hostile to Odysseus and his men (she changed them into pigs on their first meeting) has become a good host. She has been Odysseus' lover, and hosted him and his crew on her island for a year. But the crew and Odysseus now desire to go home. When Odysseus tells her that it is time to leave, she replies: "Zeus-sprung son of Laertes, Odysseus of many devices, do not stay any longer against your will in my palace. Yet you first must accomplish a different journey and go down into the palace of Hades and Persephone, honored and dreaded, seeking prophetic advice of the Theban Teiresias' spirit, that the blind prophet in whom is a mind still fresh in its vigor"

Does Teiresias have good news for Oedipus in 'Oedipus Rex'?

No, Teiresias does not have good news for Oedipus in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Oedipus meets with Teiresias the blind prophet in an attempt to collect information about the death of his royal predecessor, King Laius. But he ends up really disliking what Teiresias has to say. Teiresias in fact charges Oedipus with being Laius' killer.
