Yes, in the story Oedipus the King Sophocles there is a verse that is missed.
Oedipus' recognition scene comes when the shepherd who rescued him from the side of the mountain tells him the story of his infancy. From this story, Oedipus is able to deduce that Jocasta is his mother and that Laius is his father.
Jocasta intends to convince him that prophets cannot tell the future.
Thebes is the setting of Oedipus Rex because it is the place where the story begins.
The messenger knows because He was given Oedipus from another Shepard that knew the true story of Oedipus' birth.
The oracle told Oedipus that he would kill his father and marry his mother.
That it unnerves and frightens him is the effect of Jocasta's story on Oedipus in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Queen Jocasta goes over the details of her first husband King Laius' death. Her story is not what her second husband Oedipus expects or needs to hear. In fact, it is downright upsetting that Laius' death place is the same as Oedipus' similar crime at about the same time.
That he does not see how it can be true is the reason why Oedipus rejects Teiresias' story in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Teiresias the blind prophet accuses Theban King Oedipus of killing King Laius. Oedipus dislikes being blamed for something that he does not do. In fact, Oedipus does not remember ever meeting Laius, whose death takes place before Oedipus moves to Thebes.
