The crime scene, his fostering and his native town are the warnings that Oedipus receives before discovering the truth in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).

Specifically, Theban King Oedipus is warned by King Laius' crime scene being the same as the place where he himself commits a similar murder against a similar person at about the same time. Then he is warned by his presumed parents turning out to be his foster parents. He then is warned by his birthplace being within the Theban royal household headed by Theban monarchs Laius and Jocasta.
