OEDIPUS REX
Laius (dad) and Jocasta (mom) [Ruler of Thebes]
Oracle of Delphi tells them that they will have a son who is going to kill the dad and marry the mom
They have a son. In order to escape that fate, they tie the kid's ankles with nails and tell a shepard to leave him on top of a mountain (Cithaeron).
Laius and Jocasta think that the kid is dead.
But the Shepard (OG) ends us taking the kid and does not kill him
The Shepard (OG) gives the child to another shepard
The Not OG Shepard takes the child and takes it to the king and queen in order to get reward.
The king (Polybus) and queen (Merope) of Corinth adopt the kid and name him Oedipus.
Remember, Oedipus' actual parents are Laius and Jocasta
Oedipus grows up.
One day, Oedipus goes to a party and a drunk guy tells him that Oedipus is adopted
Oedipus goes to Polybus (who he thinks is his actual dad) and asks him if he is adopted. Polybus denies it and tells Oedipus that its not true.
Oedipus goes to the Oracle of Delphi to ask for extra reassurance.
