That he cannot be Laius' killer and that not all prophecies come true are what Jocasta attempts to prove in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, Theban King Oedipus recognizes that the death place of King Laius, his royal predecessor and his wife's first husband, is the very same place at which he himself commits murder against a similar person in a similar place at a similar time. Jocasta attempts to prove that Oedipus cannot be Laius' killer by insisting that more than one killer is involved and by arranging for an interview with the sole Survivor.
Subsequently, Jocasta also attempts to prove that not all prophecies come true. Oedipus ascertains that his presumed father, Corinthian King Polybus, is dead but fears succeeding him as king since a prophecy warns of Oedipus killing his father and marrying his mother. Jocasta answers with the example of the presumed incorrect prophecy of Laius being killed by his own son when instead he dies by unknown hands.
