That he and his city will benefit from Oedipus' death is the reason why Theseus gives sanctuary to Oedipus in "Oedipus at Colonus" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Oedipus calls to mind that his prophesied fate includes one good and two bad components. He describes the good part as relating to the place and significance of his death. He indicates that he will die a special death in a place sacred to the Furies of fate.
