It is over groundless charges of treasonous conspiracythat Creon has his principal argument with Oedipus in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, Theban King Oedipus groundlessly charges his brother-in-law and royal colleague, Creon, with conspiring to grab royal powers for himself and Thebes' royal advisor, Teiresias the blind prophet. Creon defends himself in a spirited but reasoned and respectful fashion. He insists that he prefers not to be supreme ruler of Thebes and that what he says and does is above board and can be verified.
"Rex" is Latin for "King". Oedipus Rex means "Oedipus the King".
Thebes is the setting of Oedipus Rex because it is the place where the story begins.
'King' is an English equivalent of 'Rex' in the play 'Oedipus Rex'.
The shepherd in Oedipus Rex is the person who rescues Oedipus Rex as a child. The shepherd also confirms the main character's fate.

Oedipus Rex, Oedipus at Colonus, and Antigone
That they may not be true but they in fact are is the respective argument and resolution of Oedipus' and Jocasta's argument about oracles in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Oedipus is worried about the Delphic oracle's prophecy that he will kill his father and marry his mother. His wife, Queen Jocasta, mentions that oracles and prophets are not gods and therefore make mistakes. The royal couple thinks that the issue is resolved with the example of the inaccurate prophecy about King Laius' death by his own son and the evidence of Oedipus' presumed father King Polybus' death from illness and old age. But the resolution turns out to be that Laius is killed by his biological son Oedipus, who is Polybus' adopted or foster son.
Sophocles, an Ancient Greek playwright, wrote Oedipus Rex.
