Oedipus and The Big Question

Do we have free will or are we given a predestined fate?

In Oedipus it is clear that people are predestined from the beginning. Socrates reveals that no matter how hard a person tries their fate will always come true. Oedipus's was that he would kill his own father and marry his mother. Eventhough Oedipus did not know it until the very end and eventhough he did everything in his power by even moving away from his home to a new city, his fate came true. People make their own decisions but they always lead to the fate they were given from the beginning.
