Oedipus learns his identity from the shepherd.
In the ancient Greek play, "Oedipus Rex," the climax arrives in the second half of the drama with Oedipus' self-blinding with pins from his mother's dress. His horrible transgressions having been revealed, Oedipus cannot bear to continue on in life with sight; he can barely continue to live at all.

Theban King Oedipus is asked by his brother-in-law and uncle Creon, 'Didst thou wed my sister?' This question precipitates the climax, which is the great turning point in a drama. The play's climax is Oedipus' deciding that Creon needs to die. That's the great turning point, because previously Creon, Jocasta, and Oedipus have been friends. With Creon's question and Oedipus' decision, the two become enemies. The enmity will benefit only Creon, who takes over the throne of Thebes. It will destroy Jocasta, who commits suicide; and Oedipus, who loses his job, blinds himself, and goes into beggarly exile.
The high point. The most exciting part.
