  1. King Laius was killed and Oedipus is on a mission to figure out who did it. Oedipus tells the people if the killer comes forward they will be banished healthily. In search of the killer, they summon Teiresius, who can see into the past, to find out who did it. He refuses to tell who did it.

  5. Oedipus rex is the king of Thebes. Thebes is a city that is being destroyed by the black plague. The former king Laius was murdered and they are trying to find out who killed him. Teiresias is the only person who knows Laius's killer. He says the killer is Oedipus.

  7. king Laius had been murdered, they are trying to figure out who had done it. since a king killer is on the loose Oedipus is afraid to be killed/overthrown. he sends a curse on anyone who is associated with murderer or who is the murderer. he calls in Teiresias to help him find the murderer but Teiresias refuses to help Oedipus because of something he had remembered. Oedipus ended up kicking him out.

  9. So far in the Oedipus Rex, Oedipus has taken over Thebes. Laius is killed and a guy named Tiresias is saying Oedipus killed him. Oedipus becomes very angry at Tiresias and Creon for saying it was him.

  10. Oedipus is really petty and vain. After the former king of Thebes is killed, he attempts to dig up clues as to who killed him, in the interest of potentially preserving his own life. His brother-in-law Creon recommends he talks to an old wise man named Tiresias. After meeting with Tiresias, he's told some things he doesn't want to hear. He then prosecutes Creon for "treason" believing he sent Oedipus to Tiresias to misguide Oedipus.

  11. Oedipus Rex is the King of Thebes. Civilians came to him asking for aid because people were dying from a pestilence. Creon told him that in order to get rid of the disease he must atone for murder.
