The ancient Greek city of Thebes is where King Oedipus actually is from. But he leaves at least three days after his birth, for Corinth. There, he spends his childhood and adolescence thinking that he's the Corinthian-born and -bred son of King Polybus and Queen Merope of Corinth. As an adult, he flees to the Delphic oracle, a fateful crossroads, and then Thebes.
Decades later, Oedipus is forced to give up his home and job, for a humiliating, miserable exile as a disgraced, blind beggar. He dies in Colonus, the home of an established, long-time, powerful, wealthy family whose most prominent member is Sophocles [496 B.C.E. - 406 B.C.E.], author of the cycle of plays about Theban King Oedipus.

Why are Jocasta and Oedipus joyous about the news of Polybus' death in 'Oedipus Rex'?
That Oedipus cannot be the cause and that therefore all prophecies do not come true are the reasons why Oedipus and Jocasta are joyous about the news of Polybus' death in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Oedipus fears a prophecy that he will kill his father and marry his mother. But he and his wife, Queen Jocasta, hear from a Corinthian messenger about the death of Oedipus' father, Corinthian King Polybus, from old age and illness. At the time of death, Oedipus is in Thebes and therefore nowhere near Corinth. Jocasta therefore suggests that Oedipus' dreadful prophesied fate will not come true.

What is the relationship between Oedipus' hamartia and Creon's saying 'I have not come oh Oedipus to scorn' in 'Oedipus Rex'?
That Creon is Oedipus' foil and that Creon thinks before he speaks whereas Oedipus does not is the relationship between Oedipus' hamartia and Creon's saying "I have not come, oh Oedipus to scorn" in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, hamartia describes an error or mistake in judgment. Disgraced King Oedipus makes a number of mistakes: avoiding a genealogical confrontation with his parents, killing an older version of himself, marrying a beautiful woman old enough to be his mother, neglecting mandatory cleansing rituals, and not thinking before pledging to carry out rash promises that will come back to haunt him. The relentless Furies of fate and his own mistakes trip him up until he is friendless, homeless, jobless, spouseless and sightless. At the depths of such misery, Creon treats him decently even though it is not based on any previous decency from Oedipus.
