Jocasta, Oedipus's wife and mother (though neither of them knows it), tries to comfort Oedipus by telling him that prophecies are unreliable. She recounts how an oracle once predicted that her son would kill his father, but her own child died as an infant. Meanwhile, a messenger arrives from Corinth with news of King Polybus's death, which Oedipus takes as proof that he cannot fulfill the prophecy. However, the messenger reveals that Oedipus is not Polybus's biological son, as he was adopted after being found abandoned as a baby.
