To find out from the Oracle at Apollo's shrine why there's pestilence in Thebes and how to end it is the errand that Theban King Oedipus entrusts to his brother-in-law and uncle, Theban King Creon. Creon indeed comes back with the necessary information. The Oracle says that the pestilence will end with the identification and punishment of the murderer or murderers of Theban King Laius, Oedipus' royal predecessor and - unbeknownst to him - his own father and sovereign.
