What theory does Oedipus develop about laius death?
That they are bandits in the pay of anti-royalists in Thebes is a theory that Oedipus develops about Laius' death in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, Theban King Oedipus learns that his royal predecessor, Laius, appears to be the murder victim of a band of robbers. That Laius is no ordinary personage and that he travels simply but as part of an escort party makes the event all the more daring and unbelievable to Oedipus. Oedipus therefore assumes that money from Thebans who oppose their king must be behind such an audacious, desperate, disrespectful measure.

How did the flaw of pride affect Oedipus in the play 'Oedipus Rex'?
That it makes him overconfident in this thoughts, rash in his words and reckless in his actions is the way in which the flaw of pride affects Oedipus in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, Oedipus shows overconfidence and pride in thinking that he can outsmart the gods, escape a miserable fate and avoid the consequences of such divine disrespect. In fact, he is rash in speech and reckless in deed. For example, he does not mince words when he waxes eloquently about what he will do not only to the guilty but to any accessories to the guilty in the murder of Theban King Laius. But he cannot make that call since the gods alone who gets what on earth. Additionally, he acts disrespectfully to his royal advisor Teiresias and his royal colleague Creon; insensitively to his wife, Queen Jocasta; and threateningly to his information sources, the Corinthian and Theban shepherds.

Who were the parents of Eurydice?
Eurydice is usually reckoned to be a Dryad (an Oak fairy). Dryads are born with the tree they belong to, and die with it: so they don't have 'parents' in the normal way.
Some sources give Eurydice as a daughter of Apollo, but I don't know of anywhere that assigns her a mother.
'Eurydice' may be a title, rather than a proper name (Eurydice means 'wide justice'). Some scholars have suggested that Eurydice may really be Persephone (the Queen of the Dead) under a different name.
