He came from Corinth, and killed King Laius (The current king) on his way away from Corinth. He reached Thebes where a Sphinx laid in wait to ask a riddle to all of the people that showed up to the gate of Thebes. If answered correctly, The plague would be lifted. The riddle was, what walks on 4 legs in the morning, 2 in the daytime, and 3 at night. The answer was Man (4 legs = baby, 2 legs = adult, 3 legs = Elder with cane.) The plague on Thebes was lifted and the people that lived there annointed him King, forgetting about Laius, and thats where the movie starts off.

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!

So there.
