Interim Thebis sterilitas frugum et penuria incidit ob Oedipodis scelera , interrogatusque Tiresias , quid ita Thebae vexarentur , respondit , si quis ex draconteo genere superesset et pro patria interiisset , pestilentia liberaturum . Tum Menoeceus Iocastae pater se de muris praecipitavit . Dum haec Thebis geruntur , Corintho Polybus decedit , quo audito Oedipus moleste ferre coepit aestimans patrem suum obisse ; cui Periboea de eius suppositione palam fecit ; item Menoetes senex , qui eum exposuerat , ex pedum cicatricibus et talorum agnovit Lai filium esse . Oedipus re audita postquam vidit se tot scelera nefaria fecisse , ex veste matris fibulas detraxit et se luminibus privavit , regnumque filiis suis alternis annis tradidit et a Thebis Antigona filia duce profugit .
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
.
