Question: According to Jocasta, what prophecy was given to her husband Laius by Apollo’s Priests?

Asked by gurleen

According to Jocasta, the wife of King Laius of Thebes in Greek mythology, the prophecy given to her husband by Apollo's priests stated that Laius was destined to be murdered by his own son, a son he would have with Jocasta. To avoid the prophecy, Laius and Jocasta abandoned their infant son, Oedipus, by leaving him on a mountainside. However, unknown to them, Oedipus was rescued and raised by another couple. Eventually, Oedipus would unknowingly kill his biological father, Laius, and fulfill the prophecy. This story is famously depicted in Sophocles' tragedy "Oedipus Rex."
