Corinth, Delphi, Phocis, and Thebes are the places to which Oedipus travels in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, Oedipus is born in Thebes, but fostered as an infant into the royal house of Corinth. As a young man, he travels to Delphi to consult the famous, respected Delphic oracle about a troubling rumor regarding his parentage. He then travels from Delphi, through the land of Phocis and on to Thebes by way of the Delphi-Daulis-Thebes crossroads.

The shepherd in Oedipus Rex is the person who rescues Oedipus Rex as a child. The shepherd also confirms the main character's fate.
