To be honest no one knows how fate, destiny or free will work. It seems like for some people it has already been written in the stars and for some they just as confused and unsure like anyone else. I do believe that there is a plan for everyone and the plan is what you make of it. I hate thinking of the idea that I don't have control over my life and everything in it. What kind of life is that? How could you live? I mean if you knew your destiny and it said you were going to do great things that doesn't mean you are going to do them until you make upyou mind to do them and what makes you probably do them is the circumstances you are in and if you did you would probably spend so much time thinking about messing up that you miss the boat all together. The same goes for if you were told that your destiny was gonna be horrible then you would be scared to do anything.
Like I've said before life is really what you make it Oedipus knew his destiny and still did it whether he changed stuff or not, he chose what to do the whole time no one told him to kill someone in the first place and if he knew he was to marry his mother then why did he get married at all? his destiny was based of all the choices he made not anyone else. I think that was the point of the whole story to realize what and who you are and to maybe help you realize the path that you take or don't take.

I have to disagree with you about Oedipus having control over his fate. You're entitled to believe that there's no such thing as fate in real life, but a big part of the story of Oedipus Rex is that the will of the Gods is inevitable, no matter what steps you may take to try and divert it. Oedipus had no idea that he killed his own father and marry his mother at first, if he did, he wouldn't have gouged his eyes out at the end.
