Are you giving me choices here.
There are a lot of instances that can be stated as the Climax or peak point of Oedipus Rex. However, in my opinion, the moment Oedipus is revealed the truth about himself i.e. the killing of his father and the fact that he married his own mother is the climax.
At this point, Oedipus is enlightened with the truth of how he has commited a sin by marrying his biological mother and that he killed his own father. Though, Oedipus was not aware of the fact that Laius or Jocasta is related to him, it made Oedipus question himseld and his being. Consequently, Oedipus' insquisitive nature is shattered and broken.
