oedipus the king- past

Well we can't allow that to happen... he must be killed!
It is fate Laius; your son is destined to kill you.
In the kingdom of Thebes, King Laius and Queen Jocasta had a newborn son. However, a prophecy leaves them far from happy about their bundle of joy
Laius has his son's ankles bound and leaves him to die on a mountainside. Luckily (unluckily for Laius), a shepherd finds and saves the boy, known famously in this story as Oedipus.
I will raise the boy as my own
The shepherd brings Oedipus to the king of Corinth, and Oedipus comes of age thinking this man to be his real father
A grown-up Oedipus embarks on a journey, coming to a triple-crossroad along the way and running into an old man with four of his servants. He gets into an argument with the old man, who happens to be Laius, and kills them all.
Eventually, Oedipus comes across the kingdom of Thebes, where the cleverly malicious Sphinx guards the gates with her impossible riddles... Impossible to everyone but Oedipus.
A human being, who crawls on all fours when young, then walks upright as a youth, then in old age uses a cane. 
" What walks on four legs in the morning, two legs at noon, and three legs at night? 
The sphinx, devastated after Oedipus correctly answered the riddle, kills herself and leaves Oedipus victorius.
The people of Thebes are overjoyed at this and they offer Jocasta's hand in marriage to Oedipus as a reward. Unbeknownst to them, Oedipus is the murderer of Laius, which leads us to our present predicament.
