Delphi is where Oedipus consults the oracle in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. -- 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, Oedipus spends his childhood and early adulthood in Corinth. Consulting an oracle is something that members of royal families do in ancient Greece. There are a number of oracles to choose from, and the highly regarded Delphic Oracle is the one closest to Oedipus' home.
