What is the only thing that the lone survivor of the attack on King Laius remembers about the murder?
The sole Survivor of the attack on Theban King Laius remembers that the event took place at a crossroads for three paths. The crossroads was in the land of Phocis. According to the lone survivor, Laius and four of his five attendants and servants were killed while en route from Thebes to Delphi. The survivor subsequently specified to Laius' wife, Theban Queen Jocasta, that the murderous deeds were committed by a band of robbers.
But the survivor remembered more than he let on. For example, he actually remembered that the killing was the act of a long perpetrator. Additionally, he remembered the perpetrator's appearance and identity. He in fact recognized Oedipus two times, during the incident and afterwards. During the struggle, he saw the resemblance between Oedipus and Laius. He long ago had saved the three day old Oedipus from death as the predicted killer of his own father. He had given the baby to another shepherd who was originally from Corinth. So the survivor knew that the Laius lookalike could only be Laius' son all grown up.
Afterward, the survivor recognized Oedipus, this time in Thebes. Oedipus had gone on to Laius' hometown, which also was his own unbeknownst to him. There, he saved the city from the murderous, tax levying Sphinx. As a reward for his good behavior, he stepped into Laius' shoes personally and professionally, by accepting the kingship as his job and the grieving widow as his wife.

What favor does Oedipus ask of Jocasta in 'Oedipus Rex'?
That she send for the sole eyewitness to Laius' murder is the favor that Oedipus asks of Jocasta in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Oedipus can end the pestilence ravaging Thebes only by identifying and punishing the guilty in the long unsolved murder of Laius, his royal predecessor and his wife's first husband. Based on information from Queen Jocasta about the crime's location, Oedipus fears that he is Laius' killer.
