That Creon is consulting with the oracle at Apollo's shrine is the initial step that Oedipus indicates as already having been taken in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. -- 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, this is the information that Theban King Oedipus shares with the priest of Zeus and the Theban citizens gathered outside the royal palace. He already knows of the pestilence that is bringing on ailing livestock, declining birthrates, and failed harvests. So he does what any royal would do in ancient Greece: he sends an important, trusted person -- in this case, Creon, his brother-in-law and co-ruler -- to consult the nearest oracle.
Sending Creon to consult the oracle at Apollo's shrine is the step already taken by Oedipus to deal with the plaque in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. -- 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Oedipus shows himself to be an effective, informed, sensitive ruler. He knows of the current pestilence in Thebes and anticipates that Thebans will ask for his help. When they do, he hopes to have an answer by way of the oracle's information.
Because he rejects Teiresias' identification of Laius' killer and because he believes Creon alone stands to gain from the misidentification, Oedipus will not change his mind about Creon and accept his innocence in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Teiresias the blind prophet identifies Theban King Oedipus as the killer of his royal predecessor, Laius. Oedipus does not remember doing any such thing. He concludes that Teiresias is lying in an attempt to gather all royal powers into the hands of Creon, Oedipus' brother-in-law and royal colleague. Nothing else makes any sense to him since Teiresias' charges, if taken seriously, will cause Oedipus to lose his job, which will be taken over by Creon, as the closest relative who already knows how to do the job of ruling Thebes.
Jocasta tells Oedipus that her first child was dead after being taken into the mountains. Since she did not know whether this was true or not, it was a lie
That he will kill his father and marry his mother are the horrible things that the oracle claims that Oedipus will do in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, it is the Delphic oracle that speaks to Oedipus of these horrible things. This oracle is located at Delphi and is considered the most famous and most respected oracle in ancient Greece. What the Delphic oracle says therefore tends to be taken seriously, and Oedipus does what any really frightened person does: He runs.
It is in his blindness that Oedipus compares himself to Teiresias in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Oedipus does not know that his mistaken self-image gets in the way of seeing things as they really are. He therefore insults his royal advisor about the presumptiveness of being sightless yet claiming insights that can hurt Oedipus personally and professionally if taken seriously. But blinding himself is what he first does when he discovers that Teiresias' predictions are correct. He seeks to be more like Teiresias: sightless but sighted.

Sending Creon to consult the Delphic oracle and learning of the way to end the pestilence are the respective actions already taken and results already achieved in "Oedipus the King" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the above-mentioned information is what Theban King Oedipus shares with his people in the play's prologue. He exits from the royal palace to let the priest of Zeus and the group of suppliants know that he already is aware of their suffering. He assures everyone that action has been taken. While he speaks, he sees Creon returning from consulting with the Delphic oracle and has him share the results immediately with everyone present.

Oedipus is being dehumanized in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, dehumanizing a person refers to disrespecting human rights to social contacts, self-esteem and personal independence. All of these rights are denied Theban King Oedipus once his reputation, job, home and family are taken from him in the end.
