The shepherd rescued Oedipus who gave him to the king of corinth to raise him as his own.
corinth
Corinth is where Oedipus was raised - Where his 'father' Polybos was king.
Oedipus' recognition scene comes when the shepherd who rescued him from the side of the mountain tells him the story of his infancy. From this story, Oedipus is able to deduce that Jocasta is his mother and that Laius is his father.
Corinth is where Oedipus is raised "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, this information comes out in the course of the play. The play begins with the audience meeting Oedipus as King of Thebes. Oedipus assumes that he is Corinthian born and bred because that is where he is relocated not too long after birth in Thebes.
Oedipus was raised by the King and Queen of Corinth...those were his "adoptive parents." His actual parents were King Laios and Queen Jocaste of Thebes. His original parents "executed" him after hearing the fate of their son Oedipus.

The Corinthian shepherd brought the baby Oedipus to Polybos, who, because he did not have any children of his own, raised him as his own.
Yes, Oedipus is royalty in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Oedipus is born a prince of Thebes. He is raised a prince of Corinth. He receives the title of king from Thebes. He refuses the title of king of Corinth just before he becomes a disgraced royal.
The crippling of his feet, an escape from an early death, and placement in three foster homes are what happen to the future Theban King Oedipus as a child. He's fated to kill his father and marry his mother. So his parents decide to have him die by exposure to the weather and the elements. They have a rod driven through the three day old baby's ankles.But Oedipus is rescued by a Theban shepherd. The shepherd ends up giving the baby to a fellow shepherd. The second shepherd is Corinthian born. He takes Oedipus back home with home. Oedipus then is placed permanently in the royal palace of Corinth. The Corinthian monarchs, King Polybus and Queen Merope, are childless. Oedipus is raised as their son and heir apparent.
Antigone is entombed for burying her disgraced brother, and she hangs herself before she can be rescued. Not much happens to Ismene.
As the only child and heir apparent to the king is how Oedipus is raised in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban monarchs Laius and Jocasta decide to let their infant son Oedipus die from exposure rather than fulfill a prophecy that he will grow up to kill his father. Neither parent manages to do the deed so Jocasta hands Oedipus over to her most trusted servant, a Theban shepherd. But the shepherd shies from killing the baby and gives him to a Corinthian shepherd, who fosters Oedipus into the childless Corinthian royal household.
Biologically, Oedipus real parents are King Laius and Queen Jocasta. Non-biologically, King Polybus and his wife raised Oedipus in the city of Corinth. Luv April4Rain ♥ PS ~ Oedipus was unaware of whom his real parents were, creating the central subject of the story.
Generally speaking the Oedipus complex is not reliable. The only time it can be reliable is in situations where the child being raised has met some sort of extreme trauma.
