Is it his birth or adoptive father that Oedipus was supposed to kill in the play 'Oedipus Rex'?
It is his birth father that Oedipus is supposed to kill in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, a prophet tells Theban monarchs Laius and Jocasta that their son, Oedipus, will grow up to kill his father. As a young man, Oedipus goes to Delphi to consult the Pythia, ancient Greece's foremost oracle. He gets the disturbing news that he will grow up to kill his father and marry his mother. It therefore appears to be a prophecy about Oedipus' birth not adoptive father.

How does Oedipus find out that he is the king's killer in 'Oedipus Rex'?
The Theban shepherd's identifying him as Laius' murderer is how Oedipus finds out that he is his father's killer in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. -- 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Queen Jocasta identifies a crossroads in the land of Phocis as the location at which her first husband, King Laius, and all but one of his escort party dies. Her second husband, King Oedipus, recognizes that location as the site of a long ago murder committed by him before moving from Corinth to Thebes. Jocasta sends for the lone survivor, who reluctantly reveals Oedipus' birth to Jocasta and Laius, desertion because of a frightening prophecy, fostering into the Corinthian royal house, killing of Laius at the crossroads, and marriage to his own mother.
