After he leaves Thebes, but before he gets to the Delphic Oracle, is when Theban King Laius is killed. He's described as having silver in his hair. So he may have been around 40 or 50 at the time. It may have been about 20 years after his wedding, since his killer is an adult. So it also may have been about 20 years before the action of the play 'Oedipus Rex'.
