Consulting the Delphic oracle is what happens immediately after Oedipus flees Corinth in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).

Specifically, subsequent Theban King Oedipus leaves Corinth to seek answers to questions about his parentage. In the event of unanswerable questions, royals seek divine wisdom expressed through their oracles. The most respected oracle is at Delphi, which is where Oedipus goes.

What does Oedipus do when he first hears the prophecy about himself as an adult?

Oedipus flees in an attempt to traverse what was inevitably in store for him. In the end, instead of running away from the prophecy, he ran right into it- marrying and bearing children with his mother and killing his father.


Where does Oedipus come from?

The ancient Greek city of Thebes is where King Oedipus actually is from. But he leaves at least three days after his birth, for Corinth. There, he spends his childhood and adolescence thinking that he's the Corinthian-born and -bred son of King Polybus and Queen Merope of Corinth. As an adult, he flees to the Delphic oracle, a fateful crossroads, and then Thebes.Decades later, Oedipus is forced to give up his home and job, for a humiliating, miserable exile as a disgraced, blind beggar. He dies in Colonus, the home of an established, long-time, powerful, wealthy family whose most prominent member is Sophocles [496 B.C.E. - 406 B.C.E.], author of the cycle of plays about Theban King Oedipus.


Why does Oedipus fear Polybus?

Theban King Oedipus fears Corinthian King Polybus because of the prophecy of the Delphic Oracle. The Oracle identifies Oedipus' fate as the unenviable one of killing his own father and marrying his own mother. Oedipus is afraid that he somehow will end up a father and king killer if he remains in Polybus' presence. So he flees what he thinks is his hometown of Corinth and tries to start life afresh in Thebes. But unbeknownst to him, Oedipus actually is a hometown boy of Thebes. Additionally, he actually is the son of Theban King Laius, whom he kills in self defense; and of Theban Queen Jocasta, whom he unknowingly marries as the reward for ridding Thebes of the Sphinx.


Why did Oedipus flee his adopted home?

That depends a great deal on which adopted home you are referring to. As a baby, Oedipus was left on a mountain with pierced feet to die of exposure so that he can not fulfill the prophesy that Laius (his father, and the king of Thebes) will be killed by his son. A shepherd feels sympathy for the baby and takes him to Corinth, where he is adopted by the King and Queen, making Corinth his first adopted city, through no action of his own. He leaves Corinth as a young man to find out who his "real" parents are, after hearing a rumor that the King and Queen of Corinth are not his natural parents. Another version of the story has him leaving Corinth because he has been told the prophecy that he will kill his father. Believing that the Corinthian king is his natural father, he flees Corinth to prevent the dual crimes of regicide and patricide. This version is the more common and makes better sense. After all, what would be the likelihood that he'd be able to find parents whom he'd never known and who assumed that he was dead all these years. If you are referring to Oedipus fleeing Thebes, the city he ruled as king and believed to be his adopted city, it is because he has seen the truth, that in his youth he killed his father (not knowing the true identity of the man he killed in anger on the road) and married his mother (also without knowing her relationship to him). This profanity has brought a blight on their land, and only through his expulsion from Thebes can the city be saved. He leaves Thebes as a blind beggar, accompanied by his daughter, Antigone, who aids him in his exhile. His other children, Eteocles and Polyneices- his twin heirs- and Ismene-another daughter- are left behind in Thebes.
