It is Creon and Teiresias that Oedipus thinks is framing him in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).

Specifically, Teiresias the blind prophet accuses Theban King Oedipus of being the murderer of King Laius. Oedipus does not remember ever meeting Laius, his royal predecessor and his wife's first husband. Such a treasonous charge is punishable by execution or exile. Oedipus looks to who benefits from his overthrow. He notes that Creon, his royal colleague, and Teiresias, his royal advisor, have the most to gain by his fall from power.
