The oracle told Oedipus that he would kill his father and marry his mother.
Teiresias , the seer.
An intoxicated man at a party
Hang herself and blind himself are what Jocasta and Oedipus do when they discover that Teiresias and the oracle told the truth in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Teiresias the blind prophet announces that Theban King Oedipus is King Laius' killer. This is in line with the Delphic oracle's prediction that Oedipus will kill his father and marry his mother. The Corinthian messenger and the Theban shepherd verify the facts in the prophecy's realization.
Because he is told that he is fated to kill his father and marry his mother, subsequent Theban King Oedipus runs away from Corinth in the play "Oedipus Rex."Specifically, Oedipus hears rumors that he actually is the adopted not the real son of the royal couple whom he considers his parents. Surprisingly, Corinthian monarchs Polybus and Merope are uncooperative when Oedipus tries to discuss the rumors with them. So Oedipus goes off to Delphi to get answers from the Oracle.But the Oracle does not answer any of Oedipus' questions. Instead, Oedipus is told of his unenviable fate to kill his father and marry his mother. Just like that, Oedipus forgets all doubts about his parentage. All he can think of is getting as far away from Corinth and Corinthians as possible.

No, because Oedipus is not a bastard, a child born outside of marriage. The oracle told Oedipus he would kill his father and marry his mother.

He is told that Jocasta has hung herself, he doesn't see it.
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
