Oedipus knew about the prophecy and that he was from Athens, so when he wanted to visit his homeland, he went to Corinth to avoid killing his father. His father heard that he was coming to Greece and thought that he was coming to kill him, so he went to Corinth. Oedipus attempted the discus in Corinth and killed a man in the crowd (his father). He then went to Athens, fell in love with his mother, married her, found out, and stabbed out his eyes. Alternate version: he met his father at a crossroads, argued, and killed him before going on to Athens.
