The impossibility of a lesser or no punishment at all is the effect of Oedipus' insistence and promises regarding the hunting down and punishing of Laius' murderer in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, Theban King Oedipus elaborates on the divine terms of punishing Laius' murderer. He extends their application to those who have information but do not share as well as to those who harbor or help the guilty. He never makes any allowance for different motives, their lack or happenstance. He therefore takes out of the running the legitimate plea of self-defense.
Execute or exile him is what Oedipus promises to do to Laius' murderer in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Oedipus is doing no more than carrying out divine will. A pestilence is overwhelming Thebes' will to survive what with ailing livestock, dying crops and failing livestock. Through the conduit of the Delphic oracle, the gods reveal that the guilty in the murder of Oedipus' royal predecessor, King Laius, must be executed or exiled.
