Oedipus was born to King Laius and Queen Jocasta.

There he encountered a chariot driven by his birth-father, King Laius.

The protagonist of the tragedy is the son of King Laius and Queen Jocasta of Thebes.

Creon says the plague is the result of religious pollution, caused because the murderer of their former King, Laius, had never been caught.
