In Greek mythology, '''Oedipus''' was a king of [[Thebes]] who killed his father and married his mother.  
    
Before the birth of Oedipus, an oracle had warned his father Laius that his son would kill his father. However, Oedipus was accidentally conceived while Laius was drunk. After the birth of Oedipus, Laius had his ankles pierced and ordered a sherpherd to kill him. The shepherd abandoned Oedipus on Cithaeron but he was discovered by the subjects of Polybus, the king of [[Corinth]] and he adopted Oedipus as his son giving him the name because of his swollen feet. Later, when someone had suggested to Oedipus that he was not the true son of his father, he went to inquire about the matter from Delphi. The oracle only predicted that he would kill his father and marry his father.
