Why does Oedipus accuse Creon of treason in 'Oedipus Rex'?
That he thinks Creon seeks to overthrow him is why Oedipus accuses Creon of treason in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. -- 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, treason can involve opposition to and overthrow of the current ruler. Teiresias the blind prophet accuses Theban King Oedipus of being the killer of Theban King Laius. Oedipus is not aware of ever having met Laius. But such an accusation can result in Oedipus' overthrow, from which the most obvious beneficiary is Creon, as Oedipus' brother-in-law and co-ruler.
Why do Creon and Oedipus argue?
Why does Creon share Oedipus's power?
What do the confrontations with Tiresias and Creon tell us about Oedipus' character in 'Oedipus Rex'?
That he reckless is what Oedipus' confrontations with Teiresias and Creon say about his character in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Oedipus is reckless in his overreactions to what he dislikes. He hears Teiresias accuse him of a murder that he does not remember committing. He gets back by claiming groundlessly and insultingly that he is being framed so that Teiresias and Creon can grab all the royal powers for themselves.

What does Oedipus accuse Creon of and why?
Theban King Oedipus accuses Theban King Creon of trying to overthrow him. The reason lies in what Creon and Teiresias the blind prophet previously tell him. Creon says that Thebes is suffering from a pestilence that only go away with the identification and punishment by execution or exile of the killer or killers of Theban King Laius. Then Teiresias identifies Oedipus as the killer. Oedipus doesn't know that Teiresias is correct in his identification. So he thinks that he's being framed.

How are Oedipus and Creon related?
Creon is Oedipus's uncle, since he is Jocasta's (Oedipus's mother) brother. I guess Creon is also is brother-in-law, since he marries Jocasta.
Is Creon Oedipus' son in 'Oedipus Rex'?
No, Creon is not Oedipus' son in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Creon is Oedipus' uncle, brother-in-law, royal colleague and ultimately royal successor. Shortly after Oedipus' arrival in Thebes, he marries widowed Theban Queen Jocasta, Creon's sister. But Oedipus does not know that he actually is Jocasta's son and therefore Creon's nephew. Creon becomes Oedipus' royal successor once Jocasta's and Oedipus' incest and Oedipus' murder of his own father become known.
