The Corinthian messenger is the most likable character in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).

Specifically, the Corinthian messenger goes about his job in a conscientious but compassionate way. He informs Theban monarchs Oedipus and Jocasta about the death of Corinthian King Polybus. He makes an effort to help Oedipus overcome fears of an unenviable prophecy coming true. He responds to all of Oedipus' questions about his birth and early life.
