Pestilence and pollution of the city's sacred altars are Thebes' latest plague that challenges Creon in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, a pestilence arises from the unburied bodies of the disloyal Theban dead.

What happened to Thebes as a result of solving the riddle being solved in Oedipus?
Freedom from torment but disrespect to the gods are what happens to Thebes once the riddle of the Sphinx is solved in the play "Oedipus Rex."Specifically, Thebans are free to come and go as they please without fear of bodily harm once subsequent Theban King Oedipus solves the riddle and the Sphinx kills herself. But Oedipus pollutes the Theban environment since he comes to Thebes straight from having killed an arrogant, elderly stranger and not having carried out any of the required cleansing rituals. He allows himself to be persuaded by Thebans to marry the widow of the previous king who never returns from a sacred journey to Delphi.Oedipus is wrong not to have revealed his crime and made amends. He and all Thebans are wrong not to have identified and punished Theban King Laius' murderer(s). Everyone therefore becomes free of one danger only to end up facing another through their own disrespect to and disobedience of the rigid rules of gods and of kings.

He even goes so far as to add that the punishment of execution or exile will be applied to whomsoever has information but does not share and whomsoever helps or harbors the guilty.
