Oedipus's free will

Oedipus's fate according ro the gods is not very spicific. The Gods did not lay out his life minute by minute. Oedipus had no idea (because the Gods didn't tell him) that he would become the king of Thebes or that he would save the city from the Sphinx, and these events were extremely important in Oedipus's life, but the fate that the God's told Oedipus, when it was fullfilled, had the most impact on Oedipus's life. In fact, it altered his life entirely. But just because the God's didn't relay all of Oedipus's life to him doesn't mean that all of the rest was free will. The only fate that Oedipus knew was his own ruin, and he tried to run from it. If he had known the good parts of his fate, would he have run? probably not. If Oedipus had never tried to run from his fate (or the part that he knew), he wouldn't have run right into it. Oedipus HAD to run from his fate, because that is part of his fate too. Oedipus made many decisions about his life, and all of them led him to his horrible fate. Clearly, these decisions were not free will. The Gods gave Oedipus the most general fate that they could and, with his personality, the rest of it played out as they knew it would. Many would argue that this "playing out" is free will, but Oedipus's personality is given to him and is part of his fate.
