Creon and Teiresias are the two people whom Oedipus blames without cause in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, Theban King Oedipus needs to end the pestilence in Thebes before it ends all life in the city. In order to do so, he must identify and punish with execution or exile the guilty in the murder of his royal predecessor, King Laius. He looks for help from his royal advisor, Laius the blind prophet, but does not like what he hears. Without any evidence other than his own panic-stricken suspicions, Oedipus therefore accuses Creon, his royal colleague and brother-in-law, and Teiresias of conspiring to grab all royal powers for themselves.
