Theseus inadvertently causes his father's death by neglecting to change the color of the sail on his ship upon returning to Athens. After defeating the Minotaur in Crete, he promised to raise a white sail if he was successful.

That Oedipus arrives at Colonus, befriends Theseus, curses his sons and Creon, dies, and gives luck to Athens through his death is a summary of "Oedipus at Colonus" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princesses Antigone and Ismene accompany their father, disgraced Theban King Oedipus, in exile. The trio arrive at Colonus, a village outside Athens and location of a grove sacred to the Furies. Oedipus becomes friends with Athenian King Theseus, who protects him from local hostility and all three from violent forays by Creon, Oedipus' brother-in-law and former royal colleague. He meets with and curses his son Polyneices, who plans to attack Thebes in order to defend the royal power seized from him by his brother Eteocles and his uncle Creon.

A sudden, fierce storm thunders through the area as a divine sign of Oedipus' imminent death.
