Oedipus
Oedipus is a book about a king of Thebes named Oedipus who fulfills a prophecy in which he kills his father and marries his mother. Oedipus becomes king of Thebes after his father is killed and after he defeats the sphinx. Although no one knows he killed his father (neither does he) they are given that idea when a blind prophet tells him that he is the murderer. His mother/wife tells him that thats impossible because in another prophecy the son of the king was suppose to kill him but the king got rid of the son a long time ago.
