Tiresias has finally arrived. Oedipus, feeling relieved, asks Tiresias to tell him who exactly the murderer is. Tiresias refused to tell him! How could he tell the king no? He knows the punishment involved with his decision. Regardless of his refusal, Oedipus grows angry and demands he tell him who killed Laius. Tiresias tells Oedipus that telling him who the killer was would cause more harm then good and begins his departure. Oedipus refuses his denial and continues to yell at Tiresias. Tiresias grow angry and exclaims that Oedipus is blind to the evils he has done and tells him that Oedipus is the the murderer he sought. Oedipus' anger escalated and he began to make fun of Tiresias' blindness. However, Tiresias walks away after explaining that he was once blind, but now he can see and that Oedipus is still blind and will never see his evils.
Oedipus has put some puzzle pieces together. He realized that Creon was the one who brought up Tiresias in the first place. He decided that Creon is trying to take his throne and got Tiresias to play along. Oedipus is officially the angriest he's ever been in his life and is on his way to accuse Creon of treachery and the murder of king Laius. Is somebody setting up Oedipus? Is Tiresias telling the truth? This is your chance to blame Laius' death on your worst enemy or your best friend. Answer my questions in the comments and go wild with your accusations. I think Creon is a dirty liar.
