It is by literally running away from home and towards Thebes that Oedipus runs into an older version of himself and consequently into his destiny in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, Oedipus' prophesied destiny is killing his father and marrying his mother. So he makes an effort to outrun that dreadful fate by leaving home and starting afresh elsewhere. But it turns out that the older look-alike that he runs into at the Delphi-Daulia crossroads and whom he kills in a senseless street brawl is his biological father and the life that he runs to build in Thebes includes his biological mother, who albeit unknowingly becomes his wife.
