Apex sucks Answer is Denouement. Gl dont get caught
banishment from Thebes.
The irony of the punishment brought forth by Oedipus is the fact that he himself declared that the man who murdered Laius to be murdered. When Oedipus makes this declaration, he is unaware that he is the murderer.
Turn himself in is what Oedipus wants the murderer to do in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Oedipus looks for the guilty in the murder of his royal predecessor, King Laius. He seeks quick results, because his city's pestilence will end with the murderer's identification and punishment. He suggests that the murderer make things easy and surrender.
Execution or exile is the punishment threatened by Oedipus for withholding information about the murderer in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Thebes suffers from a pestilence that the Delphic oracle says will end with the identification and the execution or exile of the guilty in Theban King Laius' murder.

Tiresias tells Oedipus he is the murderer of Laius.
It represents dramatic irony; the audience knows that Oedipus himself is the murderer, but Oedipus does not.
Exile is the punishment of Theban King Oedipus for killing Theban King Laius. The oracle at Apollo's shrine tells Theban King Creon that the murderer or murderers of Laius must be identified and punished with execution or exile. The choice of the punishment is up to Creon, Oedipus' brother-in-law and uncle. Oedipus asks for exile, and Creon decides to honor that request, and Oedipus' request for protection to his two daughters, Antigone and Ismene.
You could say Oedipus blinds himself as a punishment. He said when he found Laius's jiller he would punish him, when it was found out that he himself was the murderer he punished himself.
That the Theban royal household may be implicated is the outcome hinted by Oedipus' curse on the murderer in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the Apolline oracles says that 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 takes it upon himself to extend the curse of execution or exile to whomsoever harbors or helps the murderer. He volunteers that this curse will be carried out even if the murderer or murderous accessories are found within his own household within the Theban royal palace.
Oedipus, as the king of Thebes, wants to seek out the murderer in order to eradicate the pollution that has overtaken Thebes. The Greeks believed that by bringing the murderer to justice, the God's will no longer be offended by the crime of murder, and prosperity will return to Thebes. It is ironic that Oedipus wants to seek out the murderer, because Oedipus is the murderer himself.
