It is with hesitation and then with amazement that Oedipus reacts to the Corinthian messenger's news in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the Corinthian messenger announces that Theban King Oedipus' presumed father, Corinthian King Polybus, is dead from illness and old age in Corinth while Oedipus is far away in Thebes. Oedipus feels relief that he cannot be accused of killing his father, but worries about his fate as his mother's husband since his presumed mother, Queen Merope, still lives. The messenger then makes the startling revelation that Oedipus is not the Corinthian royal couple's biological son.
