Ngokwentsomi uLaius ufumene kulwazi ukuba ukuba wayenomntwana oyinkwenkwe, wayeya kumbulala ngenye imini. Wayeyiphepha nanini na xa enako kodwa ngenye imini wayenxila kwaye walala nomfazi wakhe uJocasta. Ukusuka kule manyano, kwazalwa umntwana oyindoda, awathi ukumkani akabi namdla kuye, wenzakalisa iinyawo zakhe kwaye washiya, ezama ukubalekela ikamva elibhengezwe ngumlomo. Usana olusandul 'ukuzalwa lalahlwa kodwa abalusi bamfumana bamsa kukumkani waseKorinte. Apho wakhuliswa ngukumkanikazi owambhaptiza ngegama elithi Oedipus, "iinyawo ezidumbileyo."
Njengomntu ofikisayo, u-Oedipus waqala ukukrokrela ukuba wayengenguye unyana woqobo wookumkani baseKorinte kwaye waya kuye UDelphi ukubuza indawo. Apha wafunda ukuba ngenye imini uza kumbulala utata wakhe kwaye atshate nomama wakhe kwaye ukunqanda oku wagqiba ekubeni angaze abuyele eKorinte. Wahamba kwaye esendleleni eya eThebes, kwindlela enqamlezayo, wadibana noyise wokwenene, uLaius. Balwa ukuba ngubani onelungelo lokudlula kwaye u-Oedipus wagqibela ngokubulala utata wakhe omzalayo engazi ukuba uyinkosi yaseThebes.
Emva kwexesha, u-Oedipus wakwazi ukoyisa i-Sphinx kunye namaqhina ayo, isilwanyana sasentsomini esangcungcuthekisa isixeko saseThebes. Kungenxa yoko le nto esiba yindumasi aze atshate umhlolokazi kaLayo, uJocasta, ongoyena mama wakhe. Abantwana abazelwe kumanyano lwabantwana abane, phakathi kwabo badumileyo Antigone. Emva kwexesha, ngesibetho esihlasela isixeko, i-Oedipus yafumanisa lonke ibali. Ukusuka kweli nqanaba kukho iinguqulelo ezininzi malunga nokuqhubeka: ukuba uYocsta ufumanisa kwaye uzibulala, u-Oedipus ususa amehlo, u-Oedipus uyabaleka, uyagxothwa, abantwana bakhe bamvalela ebhotwe.
