Pestilence is the disaster that strikes Thebes in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, a disaster is a hazard that results from natural causes or human intervention and whose negative impacts are large-scale. This describes the pestilence about which the priest of Zeus talks to Theban King Oedipus in the play's beginning. For example, livestock are ailing, crops are failing, and children die before birth or shortly thereafter.

Laius
That Laius strikes the first blow, that it is donein an insulting manner and that it really hurts is why Oedipus strikes back in self-defense in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. -- 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Oedipus is traveling from Delphi to Thebes. Laius is traveling from Thebes to Delphi. The two meet at a crossroads in Phocis, and Oedipus has the right-of-way, which Laius refuses to respect. Laius hits Oedipus really hard on top of the head, and Oedipus' retaliation is powerful enough to kill Laius.
Oedipus has become the king of Thebes.
