Oedipus discovers he is adopted through a series of revelations triggered by a prophecy and the investigation into King Laius's murder. A messenger from Corinth informs him that his supposed parents, King Polybus and Queen Merope, are not his biological parents. Additionally, a shepherd reveals that he was given Oedipus as a baby by Laius and that the king and queen of Thebes are his true parents. This shocking truth ultimately leads to Oedipus's tragic realization of his fate.
