Pestilence is the problem about which Thebans complain to Oedipus in the beginning of "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, ailing livestock, dying babies and failing harvests are wreaking havoc with the well-being of Thebans. Each of the suppliants in the opening scene has experience with the death, famine and suffering from the pestilence that devastates Thebes. Thebans are not finding solutions on individual or collective bases, and so they turn to Oedipus, the savior of their city from the monstrous Sphinx.

That he is the person whom he seeks and that he is ensuring his punishment is what is ironic about Oedipus' long speech in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Oedipus gives his long speech immediately after the parados and at the very beginning of the first scene. He gives proof of blasphemous and rash tendencies by trespassing into divine decision making on who gets punished how. It is by this trespass that he removes from himself all hope of extenuating circumstances, leniency, lighter sentencing or pardon.
