The effects of a pestilence on the Theban population and on their livestock and crops make up the ways in which Thebes is dying in the play 'Oedipus Rex'. The pestilence lowers the Birth Rate. Couples aren't having children, and those who do are dealing with high infant death rates. The livestock are sickening and dying as well. And finally, the crops are becoming so diseased and damaged that the harvests aren't good. So Thebes faces the death of its people and the end of its food supplies.
