The messenger of Corinth brings news to Oedipus that the man he believes to be his father, Polybius, has died. He also tells Oedipus that he was given to Corinthian monarchs as a baby and was not their birth child.
The messenger arrives in Thebes to announce the death of King Polybus of Corinth, which initially seems like good news for Oedipus. He brings the tidings that Oedipus is free from the prophecy that foretold he would kill his father and marry his mother. However, this news sets off a chain of events that ultimately leads to the tragic revelation of Oedipus's true parentage and the fulfillment of the prophecy he sought to escape.
The messenger from Corinth arrives to Thebes to tell Oedipus that Oedipus' father Polybus is dead. And the people of Corinth wish Oedipus to be their new king. The messenger reveals to Oedipus that Polybus and Merope are not his real parents. He also reveals that the Shepherd gave him a baby as a gift to the King and Queen of Corinth.
That Polybus is dead is the news that the Messenger brings from Oedipus' homeland and that the death is from natural causes is the reason why Jocasta is relived in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Oedipus fears his fate as his father's killer. But the Corinthian messenger lets Oedipus' wife Queen Jocasta know that Oedipus' presumed father, King Polybus, is dead from illness and old age. Jocasta welcomes the news since Oedipus is far away in Thebes and therefore cannot be said to bring about his father's death in Corinth.
