What does the Oracle say about Oedipus?

That he's fated to kill his father and marry his motheris the statement that the Delphic Oracle makes to subsequent Theban King Oedipus. The initial reason for Oedipus' visit is a rumor that he isn't the biological son of those whom he considers his parents: King Polybus and Queen Merope of Corinth. But he forgets all upon hearing such a horrendous prophecy. All he can think of is getting as far away from home without finding out whether or not it's really his home. And the irony lies in home being precisely where he runs to instead of away from.

Answer #1 Antigone's father married his own mother. Answer #2 Antigone's father was Theban King Oedipus. He was the son of Theban King Laius and Theban Queen Jocasta.
