The prophecy to King Lai determines that he will be killed by his own son, who will then marry his wife, his mother. Therefore, when his son is born, he orders him to pierce his feet and throw him in the forest on Mount Kitharión. But the slave who is supposed to do this will not find the strength for him and will take the child to the shepherds of the Corinthian king. King Polybos does not have children of his own, so he accepts him. Names him Oedipus and raises him without telling him anything about his origins. Oedipus decides to go to the Delphi to find out the truth about parents. On the way during the fight, he accidentally kills his father Laia, without, of course, knowing that it is his father. Then, near Thebes, he solved the mystery of the Sphinx, freeing the city from this monster. As a reward for this act, he receives the royal throne and the hand of the recently widowed queen Jocasta. After a few years, Thebes are hit by a huge plague. Oedipus finds out that the plague will last as long as King Lai's assassin lives, so he starts looking for the killer. The seer Teirésiás tells him the truth, Oedipus expels him from the palace. He thinks Creon prepared everything because he wants a throne. Then he finds out the truth. His mother and wife Iokasté hang themselves and Oedipus becomes blind. He reconciles with Creont and leaves Thebes after a while.
