What are two pieces of information that the shepherd brought back from the mountain in 'Oedipus Rex'?
That Oedipus is a member of the Theban royal household and that he is supposed to die are two pieces of information that the shepherd brings back from the mountain in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, the Corinthian shepherd crosses paths with a three-day-old infant boy on the mountains outside Thebes. He grazes his flock part of the year there and spends the rest of the year in his native Corinth. He leaves with the unwanted infant from the Theban royal household since the Corinthian royal couple is childless and needs an heir.
