How did Oedipus become King of Thebes?
Oedipus killed his father and married his mother to become King of Thebes. He did not know that the man he killed was his father, or that the woman he married was his mother. Oedipus was not a bad man, but his crimes were about what he did, not what he meant to do. * Since the above was written, it has occurred to this contributor that some may argue, "No, he didn't! He answered the Riddle of the Sphinx!" This is the PG rated answer, and it will do nicely, but answering the Riddle of the Sphinx would not have made Oedipus the King of Thebes without first killing the King, and afterwards marrying the Queen. So there.
