Running away, responding to violence with lethal force, neglecting mandatory cleansing rituals, jumping into marriage with an older woman and changing the word of the gods are errors made by Oedipus in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, Oedipus makes mistakes that combine to turn his life in an unfortunate direction. The first mistake is running away when he hears what he does not want to hear. The second, third and fourth mistakes head him in the very direction that he wants to avoid: the fateful killing of his father, the lack of necessary atonement, and the marriage with his own mother. The fifth mistake disrespects the divine monopoly over justice and subsequently removes all chance for pardon and mitigating circumstances from his own punishment.
"Rex" is Latin for "King". Oedipus Rex means "Oedipus the King".
Thebes is the setting of Oedipus Rex because it is the place where the story begins.
'King' is an English equivalent of 'Rex' in the play 'Oedipus Rex'.
The shepherd in Oedipus Rex is the person who rescues Oedipus Rex as a child. The shepherd also confirms the main character's fate.
