Oedipus is a figure from Greek mythology. Oedipus is a son of Laios (king of Thebes) and Iokaste.
This sphinx kills anyone who can't solve the given riddle. The riddle is: "Which creature walks on four legs in the morning, two legs in the afternoon and three in the evening?"
Oedipus succeeds in solving the riddle (A human being 'walks' as a baby on all fours, as an adult on two legs and when he gets old he walks on three legs: two legs and a walking stick). In this way he frees the city from the monster. He is crowned king.
