Acquitted is what the judgment should be regarding Oedipus in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).

Specifically, disgraced Theban King Oedipus is accused of criminal acts and immoral behavior. The criminal acts refer to his killing of five individuals in self-defense. The immoral behavior relates to his marrying and having children with his own mother. But he should be acquitted because he lacks intent and motive in that both deeds are committed without knowing that he is killing his father and sovereign and that he is marrying his mother.
