Rising action is the stage of Freytag's pyramid that is represented by the revelation of King Polybus' death in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).

Specifically, the phrase rising action decribes a complication that arises in regard to the main conflict. The complication may involve an event or an individual. It poses an obstacle that must be overcome in order for Theban King Oedipus to find the guilty in King Laius' murder and thereby end the pestilence.
