　　有個預言家警告底比斯國王拉伊俄斯說：由於他和他的表妹結了婚，他可能會被他兒子殺了。為了避免殺身之禍，他命令忠實的牧羊人把剛出生的嬰兒殺死。然而，這個好心的牧羊人下不了毒手。他刺穿嬰兒的腳，並把雙腳用繩子捆起來。然後把嬰兒託給他的一個同伴照看，他的這個同伴恰好是科林斯國王的僕人。這個孩子就是俄狄浦斯。無兒無女的國王夫婦把他當作兒子和繼承人撫養成人。王子從沒有懷疑過國王是他親生父親直到有一天他聽到別人在談論他的身事。他聽到這些大惑不解，便動身到特爾斐去詢問他的身事。在那兒阿波羅警告他不要回他的故土，因為如果他要這樣做，他就會殺了他的父親並且和他母親結婚。得到這個忠告，俄狄浦斯轉向與科林斯相反的方向，並下定決心在他以為是生身父親的科林斯國王在世時決不踏上故土，決心不再回到他的父母可能住的地方。

　　俄狄浦斯在通往底比斯的路上沒走多遠就看見一輛馬車朝他駛來。坐在馬車上的人對擋道的年輕人怒不可遏，一邊咒罵一邊用鞭子抽打著年輕人的臉。俄狄浦斯一氣之下跳上馬車殺了那人。徒步跟著他們的主人的五個隨從中只有一個僥倖逃生。俄狄浦斯根本沒想到坐在馬車裡的人就是國王拉伊俄斯，他的父親。這個年輕人很快到達了底比斯王國。就在這個時候，底比斯人正被一個長著女人頭的名叫斯芬克斯的怪獸困擾著，她給他們出了一個謎語，沒人能破解得了。如果誰能解開這個謎，誰就能登上皇帝的寶座並娶皇后為妻。俄狄浦斯在懸崖上遇到了斯芬克斯。對於這個怪獸出的謎：“什麼動物在早晨用四條腿走路，在中午用兩條腿走路，在晚上用三條腿走路?”他回答到：“是人，在嬰幼兒時期他爬行，長大後他直立行走，老年時他柱著柺棍。”就這樣，斯芬克斯跳下了懸崖。俄狄浦斯成了底比斯的國王以及王后——他母親的丈夫。

　　這件事之後很久，俄狄浦斯過著富有和受人尊重的生活。這個奇異的婚姻給他帶來了四個奇異的孩子，兩個兒子，兩個女兒。接著悲慘的事情發生了。瘟疫席捲了整個國土。每個家庭都被傳染上了這種可怕的病，每一天都要死很多人。一個預言家告訴世人說：只有將殺害前國王拉伊俄斯的凶手趕出這個國家，這場災難才能結束。一個年老眼瞎名叫泰瑞西斯的預言家被帶到國王面前。國王粗魯的言語激怒了他，他宣稱俄狄浦斯自己就是凶手。國王大吃一驚。他叫來底比斯的和科林斯族牧羊人來證明這個事實。當那兩個牧羊人說到國王還是嬰兒的時候就收養了他，真相終於搞清楚了。王后上吊自縊了。俄狄浦斯用針挖出了自己的雙眼，使自己再也看不見明亮的陽光。他被趕出了王國。他從一個城市流浪到另一個城市，直到他在提修斯國王的雅典得到了保護，在宙斯的一次霹雷中，他神祕地結束了自己貧窮短暫的一生。
