Alyx Culver Over the entrance to the temple at Delphi‚ the words “Know Thyself” are inscribed. This is a classic example of irony because Oedipus’s main problems come from not knowing his true self. Oedipus runs away from Merope and Polybus when he finds out the prophecy only to see it fulfilled when he returns to his homeland of Thebes. Another problem Oedipus causes himself is not realizing that his tendency to act hotheaded will come back to haunt him. When Oedipus was born‚ there was a prophecy
