The Oracle of Delphi tells King Laius of Thebes that he'll have a child who's destined to kill him and sleep with Laius's wife, Jocasta, the boy's own mother. When a baby comes along, the king pierces his ankles and leaves him on a mountainside to die. A shepherd finds the baby, though, and takes him to King Polybus and Queen Merope of Corinth, who name him Oedipus and raise him as their own.

德尔斐的神谕告诉底比斯国王拉伊俄斯，说他以后会有一个孩子，注定要杀掉父亲，迎娶拉伊俄斯的妻子裘娥卡斯达，即孩子的生母。孩子降生后，国王将孩子的脚踝刺破，把他扔在山上自生自灭。恰巧有个牧羊人发现了孩子，就把孩子送给科林斯的国王波吕玻斯和其王后。这对夫妇给孩子起名为俄狄浦斯，并将他视如己出。

One day, Oedipus goes to the Oracle of Delphi to find out who his real parents are. The Oracle doesn't see fit to tell him this, but she does tell him that he's destined to kill his father and sleep with his mother. Oedipus tries to run from this fate, but ends up running right into it. He kills Laius in a scuffle at a crossroads, not knowing he's his real dad. Later, he wins the throne of Thebes and unknowingly marries his mother, Jocasta, after answering the riddle of the Sphinx.

有一天，俄狄浦斯找到德尔斐的神谕，想知道自己的亲生父母是谁。神谕认为这时候透露还不合适，不过她告诉他：“你注定要弑父娶母”。俄狄浦斯想要摆脱这样的命运，没想到最终还是逃脱不掉。在一个十字路口，打斗之间，他杀了拉伊俄斯。当时他并不知道这个人是自己的亲生父亲。接着，他答对了斯芬克斯之谜，因此赢得了底比斯王国的王位。在不知情的情况下，娶了自己的母亲，裘娥卡斯达。

得知真相后，王后上吊自尽，而俄狄浦斯也自戳双眼。
