Yes, Theban King Oedipus' cursing Theban King Laius' murderer is an example of hamartia in 'Oedipus Rex'. The word 'hamartia' comes to us from Aristotle [384 B.C.E. - 322 B.C.E.]. The ancient Greek philosopher uses the word to refer to a 'flaw' or 'error' in a character or personality.The curse identifies Oedipus as an individual who's capable of rash actions and words. Specifically, Oedipus says that he will seek out and punish Laius' murderer even if the perpetrator is found within his own household. That may sound democratic and fair and impartial in the carrying out of justice. But it leaves no room for the role of good intentions, limits on human understanding, or mercy.
It helps establish Creon as a foil for Oedipus, thus highlighting Oedipus's tendency not to think before he speaks.

Oedipus falls from power due to his tragic flaw of hubris, or excessive pride. This flaw leads him to unknowingly fulfill a prophecy that brings about his downfall. Aristotle would classify Oedipus's fall as a result of hamartia, or a fatal error in judgment caused by his pride and ignorance.
Hamartia is a fatal flaw in a character, usually a hero/heroine. An example of hamartia would be Othello's jealousy in the Shakespearean play Othello.
