Laius, the king of Thebes in Greek mythology, gave his son Oedipus to a shepherd after learning of a prophecy that his son would kill him. The shepherd was instructed to abandon the baby on Mount Cithaeron, but instead, he took Oedipus to Corinth, where he was raised by King Polybus and Queen Merope. This act ultimately set into motion the tragic events of Oedipus's life, fulfilling the prophecy in unexpected ways.
