The discovery that the prophecies are true is the anagnorisis in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).

Specifically, anagnorisis refers to recognition oneself and what one stands for. The description fits Oedipus' realization of his mistaken self-image and recognition of his true self-identity. It comes at the end of the interview with the Theban shepherd about Oedipus' true parentage, spouse and victim.
