Oedipus' doubt is because Tiresias is in fact blind, he doesnt believe he has any power because Oedipus argues "if you cant even see whats in front of you, then how is it that you can see the future"

Why does Oedipus begin to doubt himself in 'Oedipus Rex'?

That he may be Laius' killer is the reason why Oedipus begins to doubt himself in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Oedipus can end the pestilence in Thebes by finding and punishing the guilty in King Laius' murder. But every bit of information that he gathers ends up pointing at him as the main suspect. For example, Teiresias the blind prophet identifies Oedipus as the killer. Queen Jocasta, Oedipus' wife and Laius' widow, indicates that Laius' death place is the Delphi-Daulia intersection in Phocis. That is exactly where Oedipus commits a similar crime against a similar person at about the same time.
