Attributing false motives to his royal advisorand colleague are errors of judgment made by Oedipus in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, Theban King Oedipus judges Teiresias the blind prophet and his brother-in-law Creon to be conspiring to overthrow him. In a way, it is understandable that he has such an extreme reaction since Teiresias accuses him of killing a king, a serious offense against gods and mortals. But at the same time, it shows flawed judgment given the fact that Oedipus knows from personal experience of Teiresias' integrity and Creon's cooperativeness.
