Teiresias does tell Oedipus the truth in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Teiresias the blind prophet announces that Theban King Oedipus is King Laius' killer, Oedipus behaves very badly upon hearing the charge. Teiresias then spells it out that Oedipus will be destroyed before the day's end by the knowledge of his true identity and of the truth behind his role model personal happiness and professional success.
Jocasta, Oedipus' mother/wife hangs herself when she realized the truth about her relationship with Oedipus.
That he fears Oedipus' reaction is the reason why Teiresias initially refrains from divulging the truth to Oedipus and the others assembled outside in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Teiresias the blind prophet is Thebes' wisest citizen. He knows all past, present and future knowledge relating to Thebans and Thebes. At first, he prefers not to say anything because of Oedipus' violent temper and because of the shocking, treasonous truths that he must reveal.
Oedipus doesn't believe Tiresias, even when Tiresias spells the truth out to him; he calls him a liar and claims that he is in league with Creon for the throne.
When Teiresias reveals the truth of Oedipus's parentage, Oedipus is horrified. He is sickened by the fact that he killed his father and married his mother. When he finds that his mother/wife has killed herself, he gouges out his own eyes.
The dramatic irony that begins to develop when Oedipus questions Creon about the murder of Laius is that Oedipus is unknowingly asking about his own actions. The audience is aware that Oedipus is in fact the one who killed Laius, but Oedipus himself is unaware of this fact, creating tension and suspense as the truth begins to unravel.

Because the truth will bring nothing but pain.
The past tense of aware is "was/were aware." For example, "I was aware of the situation yesterday."
Stay in Corinth, marry someone his own age and be careful of older women and violent acts are the ways in which Oedipus could have proceeded if he just had known the truth about his past in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Oedipus hears a rumor that Corinthian monarchs Polybus and Merope may not be his biological parents. He gets evasive, unsatisfactory answers when he mentions the rumor. So he runs away to Delphi. The Delphic oracle says that Oedipus will kill his father and marry his mother. Oedipus runs away instead of returning to Corinth and talking about the rumor and the prophecy. The question becomes whether or not Oedipus' path would have crossed no matter what and whether or not that crossing would have taken the shape of that fateful incognito meeting in which Laius' violence really hurts and Oedipus responds with lethal force.
The word aware is an adjective not a verb, so it doesn't have a past participle form.

He does not want to tell Oedipus the painful truth.
