The story of Oedipus is the myth upon which "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.) is based.

Specifically, the myth of Oedipus tells of the curse on the Theban royal house and of the curse's particular impact on Theban King Oedipus and his family. The gods are intent upon destroying that house, but the curse basically ends with Princess Antigone, Oedipus' daughter and half-sister; the family of King Creon, Oedipus' brother-in-law and uncle; and the ultimate triumph of the Argive/Theban line of Polyneices, Oedipus' son and half-brother, over that of Eteocles, Polyneices' twin brother.
