That they control his life and death is the reason why Oedipus calls upon particular gods in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, Theban King Oedipus calls upon the sun god Apollo, who is the lord of the Pythia, oracle of Delphi. He also mentions Zeus, the chief god. Additionally, he refers to the god of the Underworld of the afterlife.
It is upon what we call the Greek myths, which was the religious stories of the Greeks for their gods and goddesses from which all of what we know (Illiad, Oedipus Rex, Festival of Dionysus) comes from.
The story of Oedipus is the myth upon which "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.) is based.Specifically, the myth of Oedipus tells of the curse on the Theban royal house and of the curse's particular impact on Theban King Oedipus and his family. The gods are intent upon destroying that house, but the curse basically ends with Princess Antigone, Oedipus' daughter and half-sister; the family of King Creon, Oedipus' brother-in-law and uncle; and the ultimate triumph of the Argive/Theban line of Polyneices, Oedipus' son and half-brother, over that of Eteocles, Polyneices' twin brother.
Oedipus is King of Thebes.
Yes. Apex answer is a).
That he follows proper procedure is the image of Creon left by his final words to Oedipus in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Creon has to place Oedipus, his brother-in-law and former royal colleague, under house arrest. He must await the decision of the gods as to how to punish Oedipus for criminal acts and immoral behavior. He needs to draw upon all the strength that he can find within his character to withstand Oedipus' alternately domineering and wheedling attempts to have things go his way.

Depending upon the point of view of the particular religion. For the Abrahamic religions, for example, yes.

That he is treasonous is what Oedipus says about Teiresias in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Oedipus calls Teiresias the blind prophet names to his face. He continues the insults when Teiresias finally is allowed to leave the royal presence. He describes Teiresas as treasonous when talking with her wife Queen Jocasta about his interactions with Jocasta's brother Creon and with Teiresias. Whatever else Oedipus says about Teiresias may depend upon the particular edition or translation that is being consulted.
Oedipus repeats to Polynices the curse that Polynices and Eteocles, who are brothers, will kill each other in battle. The curse was put upon them by Oedipus, who is their father.
you call upon the gods and you upgrade your ballista so it fires 4 hours.
It depends upon the particular edition being consulted in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the lines in the original Greek deal with Theban King Oedipus' welcome of Teiresias the blind prophet. Oedipus discusses Apollo, Laius, Laius' murder and mortals. But English translations may be wordier and therefore refer to earlier events, such as Oedipus' comments about Laius to the chorus leader just after the parodos.
