Postquam Oedipus Laii et Iocastes filius ad puberem aetatem pervenit , fortissimus praeter ceteros erat eique per invidiam aequales obiciebant eum subditum esse Polybo , eo quod Polybus tam clemens esset et ille impudens . Quod Oedipus sensit non falso sibi obici . Itaque Delphos est profectus sciscitatum de parentibus suis . Interim Laio in prodigiis ostendebatur mortem ei adesse de nati manu . Idem cum Delphos iret , obviam ei Oedipus venit , quem satellites cum viam regi dari iuberent , neglexit . Rex equos immisit et rota pedem eius oppressit . Oedipus iratus inscius patrem suum de curru detraxit et occidit . Laio occiso Creon Menoecei filius regnum occupavit .
After
Oedipus
,
the
son
of
Laius
and
Jocasta
,
came
to
adulthood
,
he
was
the
strongest
beyond
the
others
and
his
peers
were
taunting
him
out
of
envy
that
he
was
a
substituted
child
to
Polybus
,
because
Polybus
was
so
kind
and
he
was
so
aggressive
.
Oedipus
sensed
that
he
was
not
being
taunted
falsely
.
Therefore
he
set
out
to
Delphi
in
order
to
ask
about
his
parents
.
Meanwhile
,
it
was
shown
to
Laius
in
signs
that
death
would
come
to
him
from
the
hand
of
his
son
.
When
he
likewise
went
to
Delphi
,
Oedipus
came
against
him
,
when
the
servants
ordered
him
that
the
road
be
given
to
the
king
,
he
refused
.
The
king
urged
on
his
horses
and
the
wheel
crushed
his
foot
.
Oedipus
,
angry
and
unknowing
,
dragged
his
father
down
from
his
chariot
and
killed
him
.
With
Laius
having
been
killed
,
Creon
,
the
son
of
Menoeceus
,
took
control
of
the
kingdom
.
