An intoxicated man at a party
Polynices is the son of Oedipus and Jocasta, therefore also his brother.
Oedipus was Jocastas son.
Because the oracle told them that their son Ödipus would kill his father (i.e. Laius) and then marry his wife (Jocasta, Oedipus' mother)
Oedipus is not Creon's son. Creon is the brother of Jocasta, who both gave birth to Oedipus and married him. So he is Oedipus' uncle/brother-in-law, but he's not his father. His father is Laios.
It is the Corinthian messenger who is conversing when Jocasta realizes that Oedipus is her son in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the Corinthian messenger announces the death of Corinthian King Polybus, Theban King Oedipus' presumed father. During the ensuing conversation, he indicates that Oedipus is Polybus' adopted or foster son. It is when the messenger says that he received the infant Oedipus from one of Theban King Laius' servants that Jocasta recognizes Oedipus as her son.

If you are speaking about who told him that he isn't the son of Polybus? then it was two people, it was in the beginning the drunken man had told him and at the end when the messenger from Corinth tells him that Polybus and Merope aren't his parents because he was given Oedipus from a shepherd from Theban. i hope this helped
