What does Theseus do for Oedipus in 'Oedipus at Colonus'?
Protect him and his daughters from Thebans and escort him to his death place are what Theseus does for Oedipus in "Oedipus at Colonus" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, disgraced King Oedipus ends up just outside Athens after years in exile from his Theban hometown. According to the Delphic oracle, Oedipus is a good luck charm to wherever he dies. Creon, Oedipus' brother-in-law and former royal colleague, and Eteocles, Oedipus' own son, attempt to separate Oedipus from his daughters, the Princesses Antigone and Ismene, and to force Oedipus to be buried in an unmarked grave that will bring good fortune to Thebes.

Oedipus gets into a fight with Creon, his brother-in-law and royal colleague. Jocasta tries to end the fight by separating the two and sending for the sole eyewitness to Laius' murder.

Somewhere in his twenties is probably Oedipus' age when he kills his father in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Oedipus is old enough to make trips on his own. For example, he is old enough to visit the Delphic Oracle on his own and to travel from Corinth to Delphi and Thebes. But he is still young enough to react violently and without self-control during a street fight over right-of-way at the meeting of the Daulia, Delphi and Thebes roads in the land of Phoci. This is the very fight in which he hot-headedly kills a stranger who turns out to be his father, Theban King Laius.
What is Oedipus' curse on his sons in 'Oedipus Rex'?

That curse is not carried out against his twin sons, Eteocles and Polyneices.

Additionally, he curses them with a fight to the death once the inability to rule together turns to war.
