IN the beginning of the play the king his father sent his child out to be killed tied to the tree through his feet so the beast can do what they want to the child because of a prophecy that his child will kill him and Mary his wife which is the child's mother
The servent coulding kill the child so in pity gave him to a shepherded who nursed the child back to healthy but is to poor to take care of him so he gave the child to a king and king who did not have any children
when he grew up he found out about the prophecy and left the kingdom thinking those parents was his biological parents not knowing they weren't on the way he was met by a king who pushed him over and he retaliatedand killed the king not knowing it was his real father
He heard about the sphinx and what it has been doing to the people and the person who defeats it can take this queen who was his mother but he did not know that in marriage and have the kingdom and him not fearing death defeated it and took his mother in as a wife and had 4 kids
bad things have been happening in the kingdom and eventually found out it is because the person that killed the last king is living in the walls without any punishment but found out he killed the king and found out the prophecy came true and his wife slash mother killed herself and He stabbed his eyes out with her jewelry
and at the end he just left roaming the earth and eft there kids behind because of all that just happened
