Not sure, but I go back and forth between these two explanations:
1) Because he thought he could avoid the prophecy by fleeing it.
2) Because he, metaphorically, wanted to be the cause of himself, a "self-made man." Something to do with pride and the belief that reason can master everything.

The best sex I ever had was fucking a 27 year old when I was 18 and calling her mommy. I've banged plenty of hot sluts since then but I honestly think that's gonna be my peak.

Oedipus is just an early form of propoganda. Remember, most people couldn't read and it was performed as a play. Essentially what it's telling the unwashed masses is that you should "do what your told or the worst things imaginable will befall you, now get back to fuggin work and don't give me no lip"

It was highly respected, won awards, and Aristotle thought it was the perfect plot of a tragedy. It seems silly now post-frued but it had significant merit among the Greeks.
