It’s still so hard to believe.... How could Oedipus, who saved us from the Sphinx and ruled so justly, have been so cursed?

Jocasta deleted!?! This day is filled with endless tragedy! 

I... can’t even believe this

I believe it is the same man you have already sent for. :o @jocasta-queen-of-thebes could probably tell you more.

Anonymous asked: Well if that's why you won't go back then good news: they weren't actually your parents. They couldn't have kids for whatever reason but one day while I was tending flock over in Cithaeron, one of Laius's men handed me a baby (that's you!) with his ankles tied up. I brought you to the king and queen to adopt. --news anon

THE DRUNK WAS RIGHT!!??

wait you said one of laius’s people? who was it? i have to speak with him!!

Whooooa. I’m not sure what to think about what Jocasta said about the Oracle prophecies... I mean, they speak the words of Lord Apollo! Are they just going to abandon the gods...?

Please listen to your wife. Creon has only ever been a good and loyal friend to you! 

@oedipus-of-thebes stop this childish temper tantrum.  You should know better than to fight with your friends when the people of Thebes need you!

Yes, but I think he’s just really upset right now. He doesn’t know what he’s saying...

Um, did @oedipus-of-thebes just accuse me of plotting against him?

Oh my God Oedipus please calm down!! D: You’re really angry right now, and that won’t help anyone!!

@oedipus-of-thebes

Well I want you to know it wasn’t me who killed Laius, and I’m really not sure who did, but I do know someone who could help. His name is Teiresias and he’s super intuitive; he might be able to detect the culprit! 

@all-seeing-blind-eyes

Ohhhh gosh I didn’t want drama I just thought he could help. D:

I’m sure Oedipus will do something to help. He’s always been a good ruler that cares about the people.

Things have been really bad lately. Like, a lot of people are sick.
