Does the messenger tell Oedipus of his father's death before or after Oedipus asked Jocasta for the details of Laius' death in 'Oedipus Rex'?
It is after Oedipus asks for details of Laius' death that the messenger tells Oedipus of his father's death in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, Theban King Oedipus finds out that he must solve King Laius' murder in order for the pestilence to end in Thebes. He looks for information from Queen Jocasta, his wife and Laius' widow. Jocasta provides details on the where, when and how of Laius' death. These details in the first half of the play raise questions that begin to be answered in the second half. For example, the Corinthian messenger supplies information about the death of Corinthian King Polybus, Oedipus' presumed father.

Why are Oedipus and Jocasta punished in 'Oedipus Rex'?
That they offend the gods and mortals through their opposition to their fates, their neglect of cleansing rituals regarding Laius' death and their incestuous marriage are reasons why Oedipus and Jocasta are punished in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Oedipus and Jocasta each receive prophecies of unenviable fates when they are young. Each one is arrogant and blasphemous in thinking that the gods can be outwitted, the Furies outrun, and fates changed. Also, even the mistaken killingof fathers and kings is an offense against both gods and mortals. It is so serious that cleansing rituals must be carried out and the guilty must be identified and punished. Neither is done following the mysterious murder of Theban King Laius, Jocasta's first husband.Additionally, it is possible for gods to have incestuous relations, which is how Gaia starts up life on planet Earth. But it is blasphemous for mortals to engage in these relationships. The blasphemy holds even in the case of the albeit unknowingly mother-son involvement at the base of Oedipus' and Jocasta's marriage.

Is Oedipus guilty of killing his own father?
Yes, he is. In Sophocles's Oedipus Rex Oedipus kills a man, quite irrationally, whilst traveling in a convoy. This man is later revealed to be his father, King Laius of Thebes a man Oedipus didn't know due to his abandonment as a child.One possible mitigating circumstance is that Oedipus' killing of Laius was prophesied by an oracle - this is why Oedipus is abandoned at birth. It may be argued that the prophecy destroys Oedipus's free will, and hat he is therefore culpable, but not guilty. But in the simplest of terms, yes, Oedipus is guilty of his Fathers murder.
What does Oedipus say that he will do now that the truth is known in 'Oedipus Rex'?
That he will live out his life away from human contact is what Oedipus says he will do now that the truth is known in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Oedipus learns that the truth of his identity and existence is that of one who kills his father, marries his mother, and fathers children who are his own half-siblings. All of these actions are offensive to the gods and to mortals. So Oedipus says that he wants to spend whatever life he has left on earth in the mountains outside Thebes, away from family, friends and people.

What is the disorder when the son is attached to his mother and considers his father his rival?
The Oedipus syndrome. Oedipus was the son of Laius and Jocasta. One day, they had an oracle, their newborn child was being destined to kill his father, marry his mother and bring great misfortunes upon the city of Thebes. They decided that a servant should kill their child. The servant instead of killing the child hung it up by its ankles to a tree in a remote place and left it there. A shepherd found the baby and carried him to the king of Corinth who adopted it. When the queen and her maidens gave a bath to it, they noticed the swollen ankles and called the baby Oedipus (swollen-footed).

Is the child's unconscious esxual desire for the opposite-sex parent the Oedipus complex theory of freud's?
Not exactly. The Oedipus Complex applies only to boys (from the age of three to five. Otherwise, the complex doesn't apply), so it's when boys sexually desire their mothers and view their fathers as rivals for their mother's love. When females sexually desire their fathers, it's called the Electra Crisis.
