Ödipus wird jedoch gerettet und im Haus von König Polybos in Korinth großgezogen. Nachdem das Delphische Orakel Ödipus weissagt, er werde seinen Vater töten und seine Mutter heiraten, irrt er ratlos umher und gerät dabei in einen Streit mit einem Fremden, den er tötet, ohne zu erfahren, daß es sich um seinen leiblichen Vater Laios handelt. Unwissend heiratet er später seine Mutter Jokaste, die sich, als die Wahrheit zum Vorschein kommt, umbringt, während sich Ödipus die Augen aussticht.
