It is in hearing about his true parentage that Oedipus realizes his flaw in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, his panic-stricken decision making is Theban King Oedipus' flaw. It is evidenced when he decides to run away instead of confronting his presumed parents about his true parentage and his prophesied fate. It is expressed when he decides to respond with lethal force to a bullying older version of himself at the intersection of the fateful Delphi-Daulia crossroads in Phocis. It is found when he decides to marry a beautiful woman old enough to be his mother. It is revealed when he receives the news that Queen Jocasta is his biological mother. It is both validated and atoned for when he decides to blind himself for his murderous crimes and his immoral behavior.

It therefore is understandable how a hero's flaw tends to be pride, in a job well done.
