Oedipusand Laius Many Murderers Goodhart Sandor

Oedipus is not solely responsible for the death of his father Laius according to this article. It argues that the prophecy itself and those who failed to change Laius' journey or inform Oedipus of his true parentage also bear responsibility. The article aims to shift some blame away from Oedipus onto the broader context and culture that failed to prevent the tragedy foretold by the oracle.
