That Corinthians want Oedipus as their king because Polybus is dead
Theban King Oedipus accuses Theban King Creon of trying to overthrow him. The reason lies in what Creon and Teiresias the blind prophet previously tell him. Creon says that Thebes is suffering from a pestilence that only go away with the identification and punishment by execution or exile of the killer or killers of Theban King Laius. Then Teiresias identifies Oedipus as the killer. Oedipus doesn't know that Teiresias is correct in his identification. So he thinks that he's being framed.
That he reckless is what Oedipus' confrontations with Teiresias and Creon say about his character in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Oedipus is reckless in his overreactions to what he dislikes. He hears Teiresias accuse him of a murder that he does not remember committing.

It is to see for himself that Creon is telling the truththat Creon tells Oedipus to go to Python in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Oedipus accuses Creon, his brother-in-law and royal colleague, of conspiring with Teiresias the blind prophet to grab all royal powers to themselves. He charges that they hope to seize power by framing Oedipus for the unsolved murder of King Laius. Creon defends himself by saying that the Delphic oracle, who presides at Python, insists that the current pestilence will end in Thebes only with the finding and punishing of the guilty in Laius' murder. He suggests that Oedipus go and consult with her himself.
That he is reckless and stubborn are what his confrontations with Creon and Teiresias tell us about Oedipus in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Oedipus does not like the interpretation of events that he gets from his royal advisor, Teiresias the blind prophet. Teiresias' treasonous charges can lead to Oedipus' overthrow and exile or execution. But Oedipus acts groundlessly, recklessly and stubbornly. He accuses Teiresias of conspiring with Creon, Oedipus' brother-in-law and royal colleague, and refuses to back down despite spirited but reasonable defenses from two people whom he has known his entire time in Thebes.
