I was wondering, what's wrong grammatically with this sentencce, and how would you rephrase it correctly?

However, after Oedipus found out the horror of his past, and stabs out his eyes, who comes and acts nice to him?

It's quite odd to start a question with "however"
found out ABOUT
keep it all in the past tense
acts nicely (you need an adverb not an adjective to modify "acts") toward

Those are the actual grammatical errors; I would actually write this:

After Oedipus learned of the horror of his past and pierced out his own eyes, who came to help him?
