That he promises to end the pestilence by solving a murder at great personal cost is the reason why it is necessary to call Oedipus great in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, the pestilence in Thebes will end with the identification and punishment of the guilty in the murder of Theban King Laius, King Oedipus' royal predecessor. Oedipus prioritizes the well-being of his subjects and promises to head the investigation all the way to the end. He carries through on that promise by steadfastly investigating leads even though they identify him as the killer.
