That Oedipus unknowingly kills his father whereas Kronos knowingly wounds but does not kill his father is the difference between Kronos in Greek mythology and Oedipus in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).

Specifically, Kronos, upon his mother Gaia's urging, castrates his father, Uranus, and exiles him from the earth. Contrarily, Oedipus unknowingly kills his own father, King Laius. Thus, Kronos knowingly gives his father a non-fatal wound whereas Oedipus unknowingly murders his own father.
