How did Oedipus Rex gain the throne?

Oedipus Rex saves the city of Thebes from the rule of a Sphinx who demands sacrifices of the city's young men.

(the answer is man, crawling as an infant, walking on two legs as an adult and using a cane as an old man.) Oedipus is the only one to fulfill the Sphinx's riddle and free the city, and as Laios, the previous king of Thebes has been just recently killed, Oedipus is given the throne of the city, and Iokaste, the queen of Thebes, as his wife.
