Oedipus Rex

In Oedipus Rex, he was raised as the son a king, which allowed him to be the father as ruler figure of Thebes and Cornith. He was also raised to be live Merope was his mother, which allowed him to marry his real mother. Also, being raised as the son of a king, he was taught honor and integrity which he displayed through his ordeal in the tragedy. Oedipus's honor best exemplifies my big question.
