Question: The Greek city, in which Oedipus was king, has been home to which settlement as revealed through archaeological excavations?

<P0-S0> Tell Fray is a tell, or settlement mound, on the east bank of the Euphrates in Raqqa Governorate, northern Syria. <P0-S1>  The archaeological site takes its name from an ancient irrigation canal, hence 'Fray' or 'Little Euphrates'. <P0-S2>  It was excavated in 1972 and 1973 as a joint Syrian–Italian operation under the direction of Adnan Bounni of the Syrian Service of Archaeological Excavations and Paolo Matthiae, the excavator of Ebla. <P0-S3>  The operation was part of the UNESCO-coordinated international effort to excavate as many sites as possible in the area that would be flooded by the reservoir of the Tabqa Dam, which was being constructed at that time. <P0-S4>  Tell Fray disappeared under the rising waters of Lake Assad in 1974. <P0-S5>  The excavations revealed occupation layers dating to the 14th century BCE, or Late Bronze Age. <P0-S6>  There were at least two temples in this city, one of them probably devoted to the god Teshub. <P0-S7>  A number of houses were also excavated. <P0-S8>  Two of these houses belonged to important officials. <P0-S9>  One of these was possibly a local representative or governor of the Hittite king, whereas the other was responsible for the maintenance of the canals in the area. <P0-S10>  The clay tablets found at Tell Fray indicate that the site belonged to the influence sphere of Ashtata, centred on Emar, which in turn fell under Carchemish, upstream from both Emar and Tell Fray. <P0-S11>  The site was destroyed by fire in the 13th century BCE, probably by the Middle Assyrian kings Shalmaneser I or Tukulti-Ninurta I, when the Assyrians conquered this area. <P0-S12>  Based on the cuneiform texts found in Tell Fray and elsewhere, it has been proposed that the name of the ancient site was either Yakharisha or Shaparu. <P0-S13>  Finds from the excavation are now on display in the National Museum of Aleppo. <SEP> <P1-S0> Thebes ( ; Ancient Greek: Θῆβαι , "Thēbai", ] ; Modern Greek: Θήβα , "Thíva" ] ) is a city in Boeotia, central Greece. <P1-S1>  Archaeological excavations in and around Thebes have revealed a Mycenaean settlement and clay tablets written in the Linear B script, indicating the importance of the site in the Bronze Age. <P1-S2>  It played an important role in Greek myths, as the site of the stories of Cadmus, Oedipus, Dionysus and others. <SEP> <P2-S0>  A tragic hero in Greek mythology, Oedipus accidentally fulfilled a prophecy that he would end up killing his father and marrying his mother, thereby bringing disaster to his city and family. <P2-S1> Oedipus ( or or ; Ancient Greek: Οἰδίπους "Oidípous" meaning "swollen foot") was a mythical Greek king of Thebes. <SEP> <P3-S0> Polybus (Greek: Πόλυβος ) is a figure in Greek mythology. <P3-S1>  He was the king of Corinth and husband of either Merope or Periboea. <P3-S2>  He raised Oedipus as his adopted son, who had been abandoned by his parents Laius and Jocasta of Thebes in Greece. <P3-S3>  Polybus was the true father of Alcinoe. <P3-S4>  In virtually all accounts of the mythology, when Oedipus reached adolescence, he consulted with the Delphic Oracle, who told him "You shall kill your father and marry your mother". <P3-S5>  Obviously horrified and disgusted with such a prophecy, Oedipus imposed self-exile upon himself and kept away from Corinth, as he resolved never to murder King Polybus, who had been a kind father to him. <P3-S6>  Oedipus was also understandably disgusted the act of murdering Polybus and claiming his wife for himself, as he had no unnatural attraction to Queen Merope. <P3-S7>  Many years later, after Oedipus won the kingship of Thebes by defeating the Sphinx, did another plague befall Thebes. <P3-S8>  King Oedipus, in his effort to find the cause of plague due to a patricide, revealed that he was told in his teen years that he was destined to murder his father, and sent a spy to Corinth to see who is currently on the throne. <P3-S9>  The news of Polybus' death by natural causes was announced by the messenger to Jocasta in Sophocles' "Oedipus Rex", in which it is mistakenly taken to mean that Oedipus did not kill his father. <P3-S10>  This would mean that the prophecy that Oedipus would murder his father and marry his mother would be false, and Oedipus expresses relief that he did not commit such a heinous act. <P3-S11>  Since Polybus was in fact his adoptive father, Oedipus could and did kill his true father, King Laius, and fulfill the prophecy. <P3-S12>  Oedipus never knew his true destiny until the final parts of the play.
