No one person helps Oedipus with everything in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).

Specifically, Theban King Oedipus shares royal powers with his wife, Queen Jocasta, and his brother-in-law, Creon. He receives advice from Teiresias the blind prophet, councillor to every Theban king since the city's founding by Cadmus, Oedipus' great-great-grandfather. After his downfall, Oedipus is helped during his years of exile by his elder daughter, Princess Antigone.
