That Oedipus makes mistakes because he does not process what is staring him in the face so he blinds himself is the poetic justice in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, poetic justice describes a situation in which there is a perfect cancelling out of commissions and omissions. The description fits the ending years in the life of Theban King Oedipus. Specifically, Oedipus dooms himself by killing someone old enough to be his fathere and marrying someone old enough to be his mother. He is warned of his fate to kill his father and marry his mother. But he overlooks the obvious resemblance between him and his murder victim and between him and his wife. He realizes the oversight and removes what he considers a contributing factor to his problems: his sight.
