Oedipus is most concerned about Laius's murder. As the newly crowned king of Thebes, he is determined to find the murderer in order to lift the plague afflicting the city and to protect his own reign. His concern is compounded by the prophecy that foretold he would kill his father, Laius, thus driving Oedipus to seek the truth relentlessly. Additionally, the citizens of Thebes are anxious about the consequences of the murder, as it directly impacts their safety and well-being.

That the murder happens away from Thebes and that it is the act of robbers are clues that Creon gives about Laius' murder in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Oedipus has to identify and punish the guilty in the murder of his royal predecessor, King Laius. He looks to others for clues in his investigation. Creon, his brother-in-law and royal colleague, mentions that the murder does not take place in Thebes and that robbers bribed by Laius' enemies in Thebes are responsible for the crime.
