Supposedly King Laius was killed by highway men that attacked him and his men
Well I will agree that I killed him if it was only one person because I used no one's help
EPITASIS
Teiresias what is going on?
Teiresias and Creon sound determined about me being the killer. What if I am actually King Laius killer?
This guy is all but lies
I would love to be King but the only reason I am not is because I do not want to have one's responsibilities.
Creon I want you dead because I feel you are against me
Sir I would not tell you what I know, it is no good
The end will come when the city learns the truth about you.
CATASTROPHE
A terrible plague is upon Thebes, so Oedipus sends Creon to oracle at Delphi to get answers. He finds out that they only way to lift the curse is by expelling the former king's murderer.
Wanting to hear the prophecy for himself, Oedipus summons the blind prophet, Tiresias, who declares Oedipus himself is the killer. In disbelief, he goes home to question his wife, a messenger, and others to uncover the truth.
Jocasta and Oedipus both realize that the prophecy is true. Jocasta is Oedipus's mother, and he has murdered his father, Laius. After this realization, Jocasta hangs herself and Oedipus stabs his eyes out. He leaves Creon in charge and exiles himself.
