How does the story of Oedipus start?
The prophecy that the pregnant Jocasta receives of her yet unborn son growing up to kill his own father is the point at which Oedipus' story begins.Specifically, Oedipus' story is part of the family history of the royal house of Thebes in ancient Greece. That history actually deals with the divine curses tailor-made to each generation since the Theban city's and royal house's founding by Cadmus, Oedipus' great-grandfather. So the story of Oedipus' generation starts with the curse even though the most famous telling of that tale, by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.), begins towards the end of Oedipus' life and works backwards and then forwards from there.
