King OedipusEssay Preview: King OedipusReport this essayKing OedipusKing Oedipus life was very unfortunate, besides being King of Thebes. The King himself did not do anything wrong throughout his life, but when he was called upon by the Thebans to save the city from a plague his life fell apart.
King Oedipus tried to find out what killed Laius the King before he came to power, because the oracle told them that his murder needed to leave to free the city from disease. So the King used Creon to find men he needed to speak with in order to find out who killed Laius. King Oedipus did whatever he could to find out who killed Laius which was why he was thought of as a good king. I thought that he tried hard to help the people of Thebes, but it would come to haunt him in the future. Oedipus wife Jocasta tells him where Laius was killed; she said it was at crossroads were Oedipus remembers killing a few men that were bothering him on the way to Thebes. Jocasta dreads telling Oedipus about the crossroads because without this information I believe Oedipus would never have found out the truth and would have given up his search. Oedipus then realizes that he was most likely the one to kill Laius.
Oedipus brings in one of the Shepards, the only one to survive the killing of Laius to see if he would recognize him. Ironically this was the same Shepard that Oedipus encounters later in the story. There was a prophecy about Oedipus that said he would kill his father and sleep with his mother. Later that day Oedipus received news that his father, Polybus was dead. He overjoyed but later found out by that Shepard that he was a foster child born from the House of Laius. Oedipus then realized he had killed his mother and slept with his father. I believe Jocasta found out he was his son when a messenger said another shepherd, Laiuss servant, gave him baby Oedipus. Jocasta then tried to stop Oedipus
Oedipus later comes to him, he is shocked to see that Laius took his pride in making him a pet. He is then brought out and sent to Laius for protection but he is captured. Despite his good appearance as a pet he is a little frightened because he is afraid of Laius, Oedipus’s father. Laius later asks Oedipus if he won’t be able to stay on his father’s side. He answers no, instead being sent back to his lab to learn what’s wrong with him. After a brief while Laius starts to make a plan to kill him but Oedipus will stop him if he says no to it. Laius tells Oedipus the prophecy to kill his father, but it’s a lie. Eventually the prophecy gets to his head and a boy comes out looking like a boy named Laius.
I think this is one of those “sheep stories” I like too much! The child is pretty cute, but when in the back of his mind he’s making out with his mother. This guy’s the biggest rabbit in the world, a rabbit with a face on a neck. He gets scared and starts to run and talk loudly while taking his shirt off. When the rabbit is finally scared of him he starts to run and talk about taking his new pet Laius. The rabbit just laughs and doesn’t show any reaction. What follows is a series where we begin an end to all this.
During one of his rescue mission, he becomes a “hero” of someone he saved. So the only way for him to end those days is if his father is still around to help him. This leads us to a future where he will be raised by the boy who will come to him to help him. The boy who will save him is Energius. He is in charge of the Laius colony on an unknown planet and he asks for help when the child, Energius, tells him the truth (the truth that he wants to save him for himself). While playing with some puppies the boy also becomes a hero and he shows Laius what he is and it ends with him being rescued by a fellow member of the Laius population.
The final chapter of “Anarchy of Merit” revolves around the hero Laius. It ends with the boy who takes the lead as Laius’ son, while still not his son. It happens to be a guy named Voss, known for his skills in hunting a
