Oedipus survives an attempt to abandon him as an infant and grows up in Corinth, believing he is the son of Polybus and Merope. After learning a prophecy that he will kill his father and marry his mother, he flees; on the road he kills Laius, then defeats the Sphinx and marries Jocasta. Years later, during a plague, he learns the truth, Jocasta kills herself and he blinds himself. Exiled from Thebes, he wanders with Antigone, rejects Creon’s offer of restoration, and settles at Colonus.
