Oedipus seeks reassurance and support from Creon, particularly in his quest to uncover the truth behind the plague afflicting Thebes.

That he likes things the way that they are is the reason by Creon does not want Oedipus to be replaced in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Creon shares royal powers with his sister Jocasta and her second husband, King Oedipus, who is actually the main ruler. According to Creon, everything that he needs and desires is provided through Oedipus' leadership. Oedipus deals with the likable and less likable aspects of the job and therefore bears all the stress, and Creon wants nothing to do with any of that.
Why does Creon share Oedipus's power?
Creon is Oedipus's uncle.
Creon exerts authority over Oedipus.
Creon is Jocasta's brother.
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.
Inside the palace is where Creon wants Oedipus to go at the end of "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Oedipus is guilty of murder and incest, for which the punishments are execution or exile. Creon, Oedipus' brother and royal successor, is anxious to get Oedipus back inside the Theban royal palace and out of sight, out of mind of the Theban people. Creon awaits divine expression of which punishment to apply to Oedipus, who in the meantime is under house arrest.
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.
