Best Answer

Oedipus is in conflict in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).

Specifically, Theban King Oedipus gets into a conflict with Teiresias the blind prophet. He then gets into a conflict with Creon, his brother-in-law and royal colleague. Additionally, he may be said to be in conflict with the gods because he defies a horrible prophecy and twice does not carry out purification procedures that are mandatory with murder.
