That he does not understand who else benefits from a treasonous charge is the reason why Oedipus believes that Creon is plotting against him in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, Teiresias the blind prophet announces that Theban King Oedipus is the criminal sought by the gods and all Thebes for killing King Laius. Oedipus does not remember killing let alone even meeting his supposed victim. But he feels that the charge benefits his brother-in-law Creon, who can grab all the royal powers for himself if Oedipus is overthrown.
