Synopsis

Oedipus, King of Thebes, eagerly tries to search for the murderer of Laius, the previous king of Thebes, in order to end a plague ravaging Thebes, only to ultimately realize that he himself is the killer he is looking for. Ironically, Oedipus thought he had avoided fulfilling a prophecy foretelling that he would kill his own father and marry his mother. However, he then realizes that King Laius was his own father, whom he had unwittingly killed years before, and his wife Jocasta (whom he had married as a reward resolving the riddle of the Sphinx) was his own mother. When the truth is finally revealed, Jocasta hangs herself while Oedipus, horrified at his patricide and incest, gouges out his own eyes in despair, blinding himself, and begs his brother-in-law, Creon, to banish him from Thebes.
