Yes. He becomes King.
Oedipus the King (also known as Oedipus Rex and Oedipus Tyrannos, Oι̉δίπoυς τύραννoς in Greek) is a Greek tragedy, written by Sophocles in 428 BC. The play was the second of Sophocles' three Theban plays to be produced, but comes first in the internal chronology of the plays, followed by Oedipus at Colonus and then Antigone.

The name of the play is Oedipus the King. If you have never read it, be ready for the super zany suprise ending... namely who he has a thing for! Its crazy, laugh-a-minute stuff!
BTW-MR. Red Flag is a dumbass. You stated implicitly that you had been trying to look it up.
