What is the prediction the oracle gives to King Oedipus to make him leave his home?
That he's fated to kill his father and marry his motheris what the Delphic Oracle says to subsequent Theban King Oedipus. Oedipus believes his biological parents to be King Polybus and Queen Merope of Corinth. He's tenure tracked as the heir to the throne. It's a good life that he doesn't want to mar, there or elsewhere, with murder and incest. So that's why the Oracle's words are enough to send Oedipus running as far away from what he thinks are home and family as possible.
