Oedipus
Oedipus was born unto the King and Queen Thebes, Lauis and Jocasta, but before Oedipus was born his parents were having a hard time getting pregnant. So, they contacted the Oracle of Apollo at Delphi. The oracle told the King they would soon bear a child, but the child would kill him and marry his mother. Once Queen Jocasta had Oedipus his father, King Lauis, pinned his feet together and gave the chiold to a shepard to abandon the baby on the side of the mountain, but the Shepard felt bad for the boy and gave him to another shepard from Corinth. Oedipus then was brought up in house of King Polybus and his queen, Merope who were without children of their own. Oedipus was named after the scars on his feet. Years later, someone told Oedipus that Polybus and Merope were not his real parents. Seeking answers Oedipus asked the Oracle of Apollo if Polybus and Merope were his real parents, the oracle told Oedipus they were not his parents, but would not reveal who his real parents were.
