It is by not carrying out cleansing rituals and by not looking into his royal predecessor's death that Oedipus causes problems in Thebes in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, Oedipus commits five murders before coming to Thebes. He does not go through mandatory purification procedures with which he is very familiar as a royal. He then finds out that he can marry the beautiful widowed Queen, whose husband's murder he does not look into even though, once again, he is a royal and knows about mandatory cleansing rituals. This is all very polluting for Thebes and Thebans.
