Oedipus' awareness of his past ultimately harms him rather than benefits him. His quest for the truth leads to the devastating realization that he has unwittingly fulfilled the prophecy of killing his father and marrying his mother. This knowledge results in profound despair and self-inflicted blindness, illustrating how the pursuit of truth can have tragic consequences. Ultimately, Oedipus' awareness transforms him from a respected leader into a figure of tragedy and loss.

What happened to Thebes as a result of solving the riddle being solved in Oedipus?
Freedom from torment but disrespect to the gods are what happens to Thebes once the riddle of the Sphinx is solved in the play "Oedipus Rex."Specifically, Thebans are free to come and go as they please without fear of bodily harm once subsequent Theban King Oedipus solves the riddle and the Sphinx kills herself. But Oedipus pollutes the Theban environment since he comes to Thebes straight from having killed an arrogant, elderly stranger and not having carried out any of the required cleansing rituals. He allows himself to be persuaded by Thebans to marry the widow of the previous king who never returns from a sacred journey to Delphi.Oedipus is wrong not to have revealed his crime and made amends. He and all Thebans are wrong not to have identified and punished Theban King Laius' murderer(s). Everyone therefore becomes free of one danger only to end up facing another through their own disrespect to and disobedience of the rigid rules of gods and of kings.
