The identification of Laius' killer, Jocasta's suicide, and Oedipus' blinding and overthrow are what happens in the second half of "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, the eyewitness accounts of the Corinthian messenger and the Theban shepherd expose Theban King Oedipus' true identity as his father's killer and his mother's husband. Queen Jocasta, Oedipus' wife and King Laius' widow, hangs herself. Oedipus mutilates himself by plunging Jocasta's golden brooches deep into both eyes. Creon, Jocasta's brother and Oedipus' brother-in-law, succeeds the disgraced Theban monarchs as Thebes' ruler. He takes Oedipus back into the palace after a meeting with the sister Princesses Antigone and Ismene and while awaiting divine indication of Oedipus' punishment by execution or exile.
