Oedipus learns his identity from the shepherd.
Jocasta wanted to escape from the prophecy.
Save the life of the infant Oedipus is what the shepherd of Thebes and the shepherd of Corinth do in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. -- 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the three-day-old Oedipus is supposed to die by exposure on the mountains outside Thebes. His parents, Theban monarchs Laius and Jocasta, prefer their son to die rather than grow up and fulfill a prophecy that he will kill his own father. Knowing nothing of the prophecy, the Theban shepherd cannot bring himself to kill the infant, and the Corinthian shepherd thinks only of the joy of his Corinthian monarchs, Polybus and Merope, in fostering a son and heir in their childless household.
When Oedipus was exposed on the mountain as a baby in an effort to thwart the prophecy that he would one day kill his father and marry his mother, the shepherd gave him to the messenger who then brought him back to the people Oedipus believed to be his parents.

It is during Oedipus' interrogation that the shepherd reveals Oedipus' identity in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the Theban shepherd is Queen Jocasta's most trusted servant and the Corinthian messenger's former colleague. His presence is requested to tell what he remembers about the fatal attack on Jocasta's first husband King Laius. But he also knows about Oedipus' true parentage, which is the topic of conversation when he finally gets to the palace.
