In Sophocles' tragedy, Oedipus Rex, what is the basic flaw in Oedipus Rex, the hero?

Oedipus's flaw is said to be hubris.
While the Greek word hubris is generally translated as
pride, a better understanding of it suggests the relationship
between humankind and the Pantheon (the gods). The concept that
hubris describes is actually that of forgetting humankind's
position in relation to the gods: humans are weak and limited while the gods are mighty
and powerful.

Accordingly, Oedipus's flaw is that, being wise and
powerful in his own right, he puts his trust in human knowledge and ability. This is a
sort of pride, but pride in humanity rather than personal vain pride. This is born out
when Oedipus berates and mistreats Teiresias, who is called the "voice of Apollo," as he
rejects what Teiresias says to him.

OEDIPUS:
You most disgraceful of
disgraceful men!
You’d move something made of stone to
rage!

Do you really think you can just speak out,
say
things like this, and still remain unpunished?

So,
Oedipus's basic flaw is hubris, which according to some is personal
pride but according to other scholars is pride in humanity that supersedes
acknowledgment of the gods' might. In other words, he tries to outsmart the prophecy for
his destiny and in so doing thus becomes subject to the retribution the gods, or fate,
hand down upon him.
