That Oedipus and Laius end up at the same intersection at the same time and that Oedipus ends up going on to Thebes are coincidences in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, coincidences refer to accidents, chance opportunities that do not appear to be pre-determined. For example, Oedipus happens to enter the Delphi-Daulia intersection from the Thebes side at the same time that Laius happens to enter from the Thebes side. He also happens to show up at Thebes in time to outwit the Sphinx and marry the newly widowed Theban Queen Jocasta.
