Later in his life, he is told that the king of Corinth is not his real father and escapes to Thebes. On his way, he met a traveler. They got into a fight and Oedipus killed him. When he reaches Thebes, he meets a beutiful widow, (who is the queen) and marries her. They are [happy together] and have four kids.
