It is Oedipus who murders Laius in self-defense in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Oedipus enters the Delphi-Daulia intersection from the Delphi side. Theban King Laius and his five member escort party enter it from the Theban side. Perhaps Laius disdains Oedipus for walking alone and shuffling along with scarred, swollen feet.

Oedipus cannot take the insult or the pain and murderously strikes back in self-defense with his staff.
