How does Oedipus discover who Laius' murderer is in 'Oedipus Rex'?
It is in interrogating the Theban shepherd that Oedipus discovers who Laius' murderer is in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Oedipus hears from his wife Queen Jocasta that there is one survivor to the murderous attack on her first husband King Laius and his escort party. He learns that the individual is her most trusted servant and now lives as a shepherd outside Thebes. Oedipus meets with the shepherd who under questioning identifies the identity of Laius' killer.
Why does Oedipus doubt what Teiresias tells him about the identity of Laius' murderer in 'Oedipus Rex'?
Because he himself is the accused, Oedipus doubts what Teiresias says about the identity of Laius' murderer in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Oedipus arrives in Thebes after the death of Theban King Laius. So he does not remember ever meeting his royal predecessor. He therefore doubts that he can be identified and punished as Laius' murderer.
