To bring an end to the failing harvests, declining Birth Rate and ailing livestock is what the high priest of Thebes asks Oedipus to do in the play "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. -- 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, the priest considers Oedipus a savvy ruler who successfully makes it up as he goes along.
