It is fate, the gods, oracles, prophets and very poor decision making that go against Oedipus in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, the gods are determined that the custom designed fate that each human receives is carried out. They brook no input or interference from humans who dislike the hand that they are dealt. But the situation is not helped when understandably panic stricken humans do not make the best of choice. For example, Oedipus makes the decision to kill an older version of himself and to marry an older woman all the while that he seeks to subvert his fate as his father's killer and his mother's husband.
