Persistent in his tracking skills describes what Oedipus is like as a hunter in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).

Specifically, Theban King Oedipus must head a murder investigation into the death of his royal predecessor, King Laius. Oedipus interviews the indirect information sources, such as the victim's wife Queen Jocasta and the city's walking library of past, present and future knowledge, Teiresias the blind prophet. He arranges to interview a Theban shepherd, the only eyewitness and the sole Survivor of the fatal attack. Additionally, he accepts relevant testimony from the Corinthian messenger even though that information and that of the Theban shepherd validate an uncomfortable change in the investigation's direction.
