Why did Oedipus flee his adopted home?
That depends a great deal on which adopted home you are referring to. As a baby, Oedipus was left on a mountain with pierced feet to die of exposure so that he can not fulfill the prophesy that Laius (his father, and the king of Thebes) will be killed by his son. A shepherd feels sympathy for the baby and takes him to Corinth, where he is adopted by the King and Queen, making Corinth his first adopted city, through no action of his own. He leaves Corinth as a young man to find out who his "real" parents are, after hearing a rumor that the King and Queen of Corinth are not his natural parents. Another version of the story has him leaving Corinth because he has been told the prophecy that he will kill his father. Believing that the Corinthian king is his natural father, he flees Corinth to prevent the dual crimes of regicide and patricide. This version is the more common and makes better sense. After all, what would be the likelihood that he'd be able to find parents whom he'd never known and who assumed that he was dead all these years. If you are referring to Oedipus fleeing Thebes, the city he ruled as king and believed to be his adopted city, it is because he has seen the truth, that in his youth he killed his father (not knowing the true identity of the man he killed in anger on the road) and married his mother (also without knowing her relationship to him). This profanity has brought a blight on their land, and only through his expulsion from Thebes can the city be saved. He leaves Thebes as a blind beggar, accompanied by his daughter, Antigone, who aids him in his exhile. His other children, Eteocles and Polyneices- his twin heirs- and Ismene-another daughter- are left behind in Thebes.
