The priest's concerns, Oedipus' promises, Creon's information, Oedipus' promises again, Teiresias' revelations, Oedipus' anger, Jocasta's information, the Corinthian messenger's news, the Theban shepherd's memories, Jocasta's suicide, Oedipus' blinding, Creon's kingship, and Oedipus' isolation are what happens chronologically in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, the priest of Zeus speaks of the pestilence to Theban King Oedipus, who promises to take action. Creon, Oedipus' brother-in-law and royal colleague, shares the pestilence's solution as revealed by the Apolline oracle. Oedipus promises to identify and punish the guilty in the murder of Theban King Laius and tries to get helpful information from Teiresias the blind prophet. He fights with Creon, whom he suspects of getting Teiresias to say that Oedipus is Laius' killer. Information from Theban Queen Jocasta, Oedipus' wife and Laius' widow, and from the Theban and Corinthian shepherds serve to confirm Teiresias' charges. This confirmation causes Jocasta to hang herself and Oedipus to blind himself. The transferof royal power takes place between Creon and Oedipus, who meets with his children/half-siblings and who is placed under house arrest until which punishment between execution and exile to apply is made clear by the gods.
