what is the social context of Oedipus the king drama
Oedipus kills him.
Oedipus Rex (Oedipus the King) was written by Sophocles.
Oedipus does not realize that he killed king Laius and that king Laius was his father.
I personally think that Oedipus is a better leader because he was willing to exile himself to protect Thebes from the plague. Also, in Oedipus Rex, Creon discusses with Oedipus that he does not want to be king because he didn't want that responsibility; as long as Oedipus was king, he had all the privileges of royalty without having to worry about the politics of it.
A. Jocasta is Oedipus' wife (and his mother).
