Best Answer

The Sphinx and Oedipus ruin Thebes in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).

Specifically, the Sphinx ruins Thebes with her great appetite for freshly killed Thebans. Oedipus ruins Thebes with his two-time neglect of mandatory cleansing rituals. He spreads pollution by not purifying his murders or that of King Laius.
