The play centers around the character Oedipus, a king who seeks to rid his city of a terrible plague while uncovering dark truths about his own identity and past. It confronts themes of fate, free will, and the quest for knowledge, leading to devastating consequences. The opening of the play establishes a city in distress, with the citizens of Thebes, led by their priest, beseeching Oedipus for help against a devastating plague. As he learns from his brother-in-law Creon that the disease is a result of the unresolved murder of the former king, Laius, Oedipus vows to find the killer for the sake of Thebes. Tensions rise when the blind prophet Teiresias is summoned, and he reluctantly reveals troubling insights about Oedipus's own involvement in the past's violent events. The atmosphere of urgency and impending doom sets the stage for Oedipus's tragic realization of his identity and fate.
