How does his pride affect Oedipus' actions in Sophocles' Oedipus the King?

In Sophocles' Oedipus the King, the
title character is initially portrayed as someone who cares about his people and is
willing to do whatever it takes to help rid them of the plague that affects the people
of Thebes.

Unfortunately, Oedipus is stirred to anger when
he finds himself being accused of the crimes he is trying to solve. In his conversation
with Teiresias, Oedipus' pride appears to burst forth when he wonders where Teiresias
was when the Sphinx vexed the Thebans. When the Thebans needed prophetic advice, Oedipus
declares that it was he, not Teiresias, who came forward and solved the monster's
riddle. So, in this instance, I would say that Oedipus' pride contributes to his anger,
which evokes further harsh words and more clear accusations of atrocities from
Teiresias.

This strikes me as the instance in the play in
which Oedipus exhibits what we moderns would consider pride.
