Meanwhile , a bareness of crops and scarcity happened at Thebes on account of the sins of Oedipus , and Tiresias , having solved why Thebes was being hassled in this way , responded if anyone from the dragon race had survived and died for his fatherland , he would free [ them ] from the plague . Them Menoeceus , father of Jocasta , threw himself down from the walls . While these things are being done at Thebes , Polybus died at Corinth . With this having been heard , Oedipus began to bear it badly , thinking that he father had died . Periboea made clear to him about his adoption . Likewise Menoetes the old man who had exposed him recognized that he was the son of Laius from the scars on his feet and ankles . With this thing having been heard , Oedipus , after he saw that he had done too many sins , he took the clothes pins from the dress of his mother and deprived himself of his eyes , and handed over the kingdom to his sons on alternate years and fled from Thebes with his daughter Antigone as his guide .
