Oedipus sends Creon, his half-brother and uncle, to consult the oracle in order to discover the cause behind a great plague that has stuck Thebes.
Oedipus sends Creon, his brother-in-law, to go see the Oracle in Delphi, in hopes that he will return with a solution to the problem in Thebes.
Why does Creon share Oedipus's power?
It is Creon whom Oedipus sends for information about how to end the pestilence in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Oedipus faces the challenge of a pestilence that threatens the the harvests and the lives of Theban people and their livestock. He has no idea as to the cause or the solution. So he sends Creon, his brother-in-law and royal colleague, to find out what to do.
It is to Delphi that Oedipus sends Creon in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Oedipus does not know what causes a pestilence in Thebes. He therefore has Creon, his brother-in-law and royal colleague, take a trip to Delphi. Delphi is the location of the Delphic oracle whose insights are respected throughout all ancient Greece.

Theban King Oedipus insists that his uncle and brother-in-law, Theban King Creon, share in public the news from Apollo the sun god's shrine. He sends Creon to find out what can be done to end the pestilence that affects Thebes' livestock, harvests, and birth rate. Creon prefers to share the news first and in private with Oedipus. But Oedipus wants his people to hear the breaking news.
Creon is Oedipus's uncle.
It is the Delphic oracle that Oedipus sends Creon to consult prior to the beginning of the action of "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the Delphic oracle carries the name of the Pythia. As the oracle of Apollo the sun god at Delphi, she is the most famous and respected oracle in ancient Greece. Oedipus therefore sends Creon, his brother-in-law and royal colleague, to find out how to end the pestilence before it ends all life in Thebes.
Creon exerts authority over Oedipus.
Creon is Jocasta's brother.
Creon is Oedipus's uncle, since he is Jocasta's (Oedipus's mother) brother. I guess Creon is also is brother-in-law, since he marries Jocasta.
No, Creon is not Oedipus' son in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Creon is Oedipus' uncle, brother-in-law, royal colleague and ultimately royal successor. Shortly after Oedipus' arrival in Thebes, he marries widowed Theban Queen Jocasta, Creon's sister. But Oedipus does not know that he actually is Jocasta's son and therefore Creon's nephew. Creon becomes Oedipus' royal successor once Jocasta's and Oedipus' incest and Oedipus' murder of his own father become known.
