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.

When do honor and duty develop in 'Oedipus Rex'?
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.

What knowledge on the audience's part contributes to the dramatic irony in 'Oedipus Rex'?
That others know who is guilty of Laius' murder and that Oedipus does not know is an example of the dramatically ironic knowledge of the audience in the play "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. -- 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Laius, the previous king of Thebes, is killed without the guilty being sought or punished and without cleansing rituals being carried out. Teiresias the blind prophet, Queen Jocasta's most trusted servant and audiences familiar with the Oedipus story all know in advance that the killer is Oedipus. This is dramatically ironic since Oedipus has no clue that the person he promises to track down and punish is himself.

With what surgical instrument does Oedipus blind himself?
The brooches that hold Theban Queen Jocasta's clothes together are what Theban King Oedipus uses to blind himself.Oedipus chooses the brooches, because they represent everything that goes wrong in his life. Specifically, the brooches represent Jocasta, who is his greatest supporter personally and professionally. Unfortunately and unbeknownst to him and to her, Jocasta is also his mother.Previously, Oedipus lives his life in fear of an unenviable prophecy coming true in regards to him. He thinks that he makes the life choices that will keep him from living out his fate as the killer of his father and his king and the father of children with his own mother. But both fates are realized in one fell sweep when Oedipus kills Theban King Laius and then marries Laius' grieving but beautiful widow.In both regards, Oedipus realizes much too late that a simple, straightforward clue stared him in the face all along. Specifically, his victim is a man whom he resembles and whi is old enough to be his father. His wife is a woman whom he may resemble in some gesture or feature and who is old enough to be his mother.If it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck and walks like a duck, then it indeed is a duck. There sometimes is no other option than to judge a book by its cover. And yes, the elderly victim is Oedipus' father, and the older woman is Oedipus' mother.
