That he does not know who he is or what he will find outis the reason why Oedipus continues his investigation against his wife's wishes in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, Theban King Oedipus has to find and punish the guilty in King Laius' murder. In the course of his investigation, he is accused by Teiresias the blind prophet of being Laius' murder. Oedipus pursues every bit of information because he does not know who his biological parents are and who Laius' killer is. He seeks information about the former because of his prophesied fate as his father's killer and his mother's husband. He seeks the latter information in order to clear his name and end the pestilence in Thebes.
Subservient actions and harmonizing wishes versus domination and confrontation is the way in which Creon's actions and wishes compare to those of Oedipus in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Creon acts in a subordinate capacity to his brother-in-law and to the gods. He aims to harmonize with others as part of a team and not its leader. In contrast, Theban King Oedipus aspires to dominate others and to confront and challenge whatever he dislikes.
That he anticipates his city's needs, that he calls it "my city," and that he prefers to be exiled to its outskirts are ways of describing Oedipus' patriotism in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Oedipus does not need to be told about the current pestilence, against which he has a plan of action already in place. He gets helpful information from the Delphic oracle and from key information sources within the city. He heads the investigation that will end the pestilence before it ends Thebes. He refers to Thebes as "my city" even though he assumes himself to be Corinthian born and bred. With his downfall, he wishes to spend the rest of his miserable life in the mountains just outside the beloved city that he no longer can see.
When Oedipus asks the blind prophet Tiresias who killed the previous king Laius, Tiresias states that he knows but wishes he didn't. Oedipus furiously accuses Tiresias of the murder of (Oedipus'own father), Laius - whom, of course Oedipus actually killed unknowingly.
That it is better for him not to be born is the way in which the chorus leader responds to Oedipus' despair in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the leader of the chorus of Theban elders is there for the king. But things may change when gods become angry and kings fall. The leader observes that he wishes that he never had known Oedipus and that Oedipus never had been born.
The mood of the first chorus seems to be one of supplication and entreaty. The chorus wishes the pestilence that ravages Thebes to be ended. The members look to Theban King Oedipus as the problem solver.

Execution or exile is what Oedipus wishes to happen to those who fail to help him find the murderer in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the Delphi oracle conveys the divinely inspired message that the pestilence will end in Thebes with the execution or exile of Theban King Laius' murderer. King Oedipus, Laius' royal successor, heads the murder investigation. He is at a loss for clues. To encourage information sharing, Oedipus proclaims that all those who know, but are not forthcoming with, information will be punished in the same way as the guilt, with execution or exile.

Against the players union's wishes, Frank Thomas cooperated with the investigation. Jason Giambi also cooperated, but he had admitted to using steroids years ago in a controversial book in which he accused other players of using them, too.

That she hopes he never knows his identity is what Jocasta says to Oedipus when she knows that he is her son in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Queen Jocasta makes connections when she hears the testimony of the Corinthian messenger. She seeks to stop her second husband, King Oedipus, in his attempts to find the truth of his birth. She wishes that he never know who he is when she cannot get him to stop.
That it is better for him not to have been born and known by anyone and if he lived to die rather than be blind is a way of summarizing the conversation between Oedipus the chorus leader in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the chorus leader meets disgraced Theban King Oedipus stumbling outside the palace. He says that he wishes that Oedipus never had been born or that he had died as his parents planned. He states that Oedipus never should have chosen blind exile over immediate death.
Henry VIII acted against the Pope's wishes but I don't know if he hesitated in doing such.
