- King Laius and Queen Jacosta have a son. King Laius, however, was warned that if he had a son, his son would kill him and marry his wife. To prevent this, they gave their son to a servant to have him killed.

- Oedipus was told that who he thought were his parents, were not actually his parents. To try to figure out what the truth was, Oedipus went to an oracle. The oracle said the same thing: He will kill his father and marry his mother.
- When Oedipus found out the news, he tried to prevent it. This meant that he had to leave Corinth and go to the city of Thebes. As he traveled to the city, he ran into a man, King Laius. They got into a very heated argument which lead to Oedipus killing him. Oedipus did not know that this man was his father. At this point, half of the prophecy is achieved.
