It is in self-defense that Oedipus kills the travelers in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, Theban King Laius and his escort party approach the Delphi-Daulia intersection from the Theban side. Oedipus approaches it from the Delphi side. When they meet in the middle, Laius' charioteer jostles and Laius strikes with his double whip. Oedipus responds with his staff even though he is just one against six bullies.
