How does Oedipus save Thebes before he is king in 'Oedipus Rex'?

It is by defeating the Sphinx that Oedipus saves Thebes before he becomes king "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the Sphinx asks a troublesome riddle of all incoming and outgoing Thebans. No answer or one that is incorrect means that the Sphinx gets to indulge her appetite for freshly killed Thebans. But Oedipus puts an end to the Sphinx by correctly answering her question. The Sphinx takes her own life, and Thebes flourishes.
