How did the dramatic irony of 'Oedipus Rex' arise from the audience's knowledge of the myth?
In Oedipus the King, Oedipus feels ill at ease because he does not know the true story of who his parents were, or how he came to be king. Oedipus feels that when he knows these things he will be happy. The audience knows (and Jocasta suspects) that the knowledge will be disastrous for Oedipus (and it proves so). The dramatic irony is that Oedipus is destroyed by his quest for knowledge; even though seeking out knowledge is usually a good thing.
Is Oedipus exiled with his children in 'Oedipus Rex'?
Yes, Antigone accompanies Oedipus in exile after "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the audience does not know whether or not Oedipus is punished with execution or exile at the play's end. But from other sources, such as "Oedipus at Colonus" by the same ancient Greek dramatist, the audience learns that Oedipus is punished with exile and that the exile is shared with his elder daughter, Princess Antigone. According to other sources, Oedipus and Antigone also are accompanied by the disgraced king's younger daughter Ismene.

What is the name for a disconnect between what the character believes to be true and what the audience knows to be true?

Oedipus suggests he will cast out the one who has brought this suffering on his city a clear tension is created between what Oedipus knows and what the audience knows What literary device is present?
When the audience knows something that a character on stage doesn't know, it is called dramatic irony.
From what audience knowledge does the dramatic irony arise in part in 'Oedipus Rex'?
It is from the audience's knowledge of Oedipus as Laius' killer that dramatic irony arises in part in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, irony refers to inaccurate or incomplete understanding of situations by the affected individuals. Theban King Oedipus promises to identify and punish the guilty in King Laius' murder. But he does not know what the audience already knows: he himself is the person whose public humiliation and punishment he seeks.
What knowledge on the audience's part contributes to the dramatic irony in 'Oedipus Rex'?
That others know who is guilty of Laius' murder and that Oedipus does not know is an example of the dramatically ironic knowledge of the audience in the play "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. -- 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Laius, the previous king of Thebes, is killed without the guilty being sought or punished and without cleansing rituals being carried out. Teiresias the blind prophet, Queen Jocasta's most trusted servant and audiences familiar with the Oedipus story all know in advance that the killer is Oedipus. This is dramatically ironic since Oedipus has no clue that the person he promises to track down and punish is himself.
Is Creon Oedipus' son in 'Oedipus Rex'?
No, Creon is not Oedipus' son in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Creon is Oedipus' uncle, brother-in-law, royal colleague and ultimately royal successor. Shortly after Oedipus' arrival in Thebes, he marries widowed Theban Queen Jocasta, Creon's sister. But Oedipus does not know that he actually is Jocasta's son and therefore Creon's nephew. Creon becomes Oedipus' royal successor once Jocasta's and Oedipus' incest and Oedipus' murder of his own father become known.
