he is died by his son odepus but his son doesn`t know
Laius the former king of Thebes was killed by his son Oedipus.
The Chorus thinks the Furies and the son of Zeus will follow the killer of Laius where ever he goes. They are unaware, at this time, that the killer is Oedipus.
Laius and Jocasta were the King and Queen of Thebes. Jocasta was a distant cousin of Laius, and Laius was third in descent from Cadmus. They were also the parents of Oedipus.
That it is the work of thugs hired by Laius' enemies in Thebes is the theory that Oedipus immediately develops about Laius' death in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Oedipus has to find and punish the guilty in King Laius' murder. He hears what his brother-in-law and royal colleague Creon has to say. Creon identifies robbers on the basis of the sole surviving eyewitness to Laius' murder. Oedipus observes that money from Laius' enemies in Thebes is behind the crime and that the same can happen to him as current king of Thebes.
Oedipus does not realize that he killed king Laius and that king Laius was his father.
