I will see what I can do. I've already sent Creon to the Delphic oracle for answers.
Oedipus our King, please save the people of Thebes from this terrible plague!
I think Creon has returned now!
They must be executed immediately. Show yourself murderer!
I, Choragus, suggest calling the blind prophet Tiresias. Surely he has the answers.
Laius was killed by a band of thieves in the middle of the three highways. Only one survived.
A murder of King Laius has occurred! They are here in Thebes and must be driven out to stop the plague.
I order you, blind prophet. You might as well be the murderer himself!
So you and Creon really are conspiring to overthrow me. I want both of you murdered!
Tell me Tiresias. Who is the murderer?
BLASPHEMY!
I cannot say.
You do not know your own parents. The murderer of Laius will be brother and father to his children and husband to his mother.
You are the curse, the murderer. But you are so ignorant, you don't realize it!
You, Creon, are trying to overthrow me of the throne. You were the one that suggested to bring that fool of a prophet here. I order you to be murdered.
Who will come save the day from this horrible mess?!
King Oedipus, you are ignorant and arrogant. You cannot see the truth that is right in front of you.
Go on, Jocasta. Speak before I get rid of Creon from this world.
Hold on Oedipus. Wait until you hear what your wife has to say.
I could be.... the murderer? I can't believe it. Call in the survivor, the shepherd.
To find answers, you went to the Oracle of Delphi. There, they told you that you would murder your father and sleep with your mother.
When you were the prince of Corinth, you heard that you were not actually the son of the King and Queen.
You fled Corinth to come to Thebes to escape this fate. On the way, a group of thieves attacked and you had to kill all but one.
