A tragic hero in Greek mythology, Oedipus accidentally fulfilled a prophecy that he would end up killing his father and marrying his mother, thereby bringing disaster to his city and family.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe story of Oedipus is the subject of Sophocles's tragedy Oedipus, King of Thebes, which was followed by Oedipus at Colonus and then Antigone.
