What riddle did Oedipus solve?

Oedipus famously solved the riddle of the Sphinx. The riddle was: "What has one voice but becomes four-footed and two-footed and three-footed?" Oedipus correctly answered "man", who crawls on all fours as an infant, walks upright as an adult and uses a cane in old age.
