Divine law forbids murder in ancient Greek culture.
Specifically, Gaia is the original mother goddess of gods and mortals. The gift of life comes from a deliberate, divine decision. It cannot be blasphemed by murder, which therefore is punishable by divine standards of execution or exile.

From who curse does Oedipus rescue Thebes in 'Oedipus Rex'?
From a divine curse Oedipus rescues Thebes in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Oedipus rescues Thebes twice from a divine curse. The first takes place when he solves a riddle and thereby defeats the monstrous Sphinx that has all Thebes terrified. The second takes place when Theban King Oedipus ends the pestilence by identifying the killer of his royal predecessor, King Laius. Both curses are divine in origin, and both are leveled against Thebes for not carrying out mandatory cleansing rituals in the aftermath of a king's murder, a serious offense in ancient Greece.
