Creon relayed that the oracle's answer indicated that the plague afflicting Thebes was a result of pollution in the city, specifically linked to the unpunished murder of the former king, Laius. The oracle instructed that the culprit must be found and expelled to restore health and order to Thebes. This revelation sets off the tragic chain of events in Sophocles' "Oedipus Rex."
