Is Oedipus guilty of murder in 'Oedipus Rex'?

Yes, Oedipus is guilty of murder in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Oedipus has the right-of-way at the Delphi-Daulia crossroads in the land of Phocis. But that right is disrespected by an arrogant, older version of himself and the stranger's five-member escort party. The charioteer jostles Oedipus, who jostles back. Then the older lookalike raps Oedipus firmly on the head with a double whip, which is insulting and really hurts. Oedipus strikes back with his staff in self-defense, but does not stop striking until five out of six people are dead. The exact nature of the guilty charges will depend upon whether Oedipus acts in self-defense, which he may claim since he is so outnumbered.

What happens to Oedipus on the way to Thebes in 'Oedipus Rex'?

A painful, rude meeting in an intersection is what happens to Oedipus on the way to Thebes in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Oedipus approaches the Delphi-Daulia intersection from the Delphi side. Theban King Laius and his escort party approach from the Theban side. Laius' charioteer gives Oedipus a push, which is followed by Laius' double whip. Oedipus responds in kind and in self-defense and leaves all but one of Laius' party dead in the intersection.


Why does Oedipus kill Laius in 'Oedipus Rex'?

It is in self-defense that Oedipus kills Laius in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Oedipus walks into an intersection from the Delphi side at the same time that a six-member party drives in from the Thebes side. Perhaps the party scorns him because he shuffles and has scarred, swollen feet. At any rate, the charioteer pushes through and jostles Oedipus. Then the carriage's passenger hits Oedipus on the head with a double whip, which is insulting and really really hurts. Oedipus applies his staff to the stranger, who falls down dead in the intersection.


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. At the same time, based on information about the number of killers, Oedipus suspects that he may not be that killer since his long ago crime is carried out alone. He therefore asks Jocasta if the sole survivor of the attack on Laius and his five-member escort party can be brought to the palace for questioning.

Is Oedipus guilty when he kills Laius in 'Oedipus Rex'?

No, Oedipus is guilty when he kills Laius in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Oedipus kills Theban King Laius and four of his five-member escort party in a street brawl over the right-of-way at the Daulia-Delphi crossroads in Phocis. Oedipus is in the right. But he is alone, outnumbered, and perhaps the worst for wear from traveling from Corinth to Delphi and from Delphi to parts yet unknown.Laius decides to take that right away and has his herald shove Oedipus. Oedipus strikes back in self-defense. Then Laius uses his double whip to hit Oedipus on the top of his head. Hitting on the top of the head is considered very insulting, and it really hurts. So Oedipus strikes back with his staff. He kills Laius, but in self-defense.
