Oedipus met the Sphinx outside Thebes, where she challenged travelers with a riddle. He answered correctly, causing her defeat and earning the throne.
The story is best known from Sophocles in Oedipus Rex, though it likely appeared earlier in oral tradition and possibly in works attributed to Hesiod.
