Teiresias
The Corinthian messenger reveals the truth to Oedipus, informing him that Polybus and Merope were not his biological parents and that he was adopted. This leads Oedipus to question his origins and eventually uncover the prophecy that he would kill his father.

it is Teiresias who says that Oedipus is Laius' murderer in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Teiresias the blind prophet is Thebes' wisest citizen. He also functions as royal advisor to all Theban kings. Theban King Oedipus calls for Teiresias' presence and advice. But he balks at Teiresias' charge that Oedipus is the murderer that all Thebes seeks in the murder of Theban King Laius.
Dramatic irony is at work; it reveals that Oedipus often speaks rashly.
