That the murder happens away from Thebes and that it is the act of robbers are clues that Creon gives about Laius' murder in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Oedipus has to identify and punish the guilty in the murder of his royal predecessor, King Laius. He looks to others for clues in his investigation. Creon, his brother-in-law and royal colleague, mentions that the murder does not take place in Thebes and that robbers bribed by Laius' enemies in Thebes are responsible for the crime.
Fear that Creon is trying to take his power and crown as King as Thebes
It is with Oedipus' investigation of Laius' murder that duty and honor develop in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Oedipus demonstrates duty to his city and its people when he heads a murder investigation. He is told that the pestilence ravaging Thebes will end with the identification and punishment of King Laius' unsolved murder. He manifests honor throughout the course of that investigation since he leaves no clue unchecked. He pursues every bit of information even though the clues incriminate him.
Oedipus does not realize that he killed king Laius and that king Laius was his father.
That it is the work of thugs hired by Laius' enemies in Thebes is the theory that Oedipus immediately develops about Laius' death in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Oedipus has to find and punish the guilty in King Laius' murder. He hears what his brother-in-law and royal colleague Creon has to say. Creon identifies robbers on the basis of the sole surviving eyewitness to Laius' murder. Oedipus observes that money from Laius' enemies in Thebes is behind the crime and that the same can happen to him as current king of Thebes.
At the time of Laius's murder, Oedipus was not king of Thebes; in fact he unknowingly killed Laius and was the son of Laius.
