The Delphic oracle had told Laius that any child born to his wife Iocaste would murder him. Therefore when she bore a son he pierced its foot with a nail and exposed it on a mountain, hoping that it would die. The child was rescued and when grown encountered his father, who tried to run him down with a chariot. Oedipus cast a spear which killed Laius' charioteer and Laius was dragged to his death, fulfilling the prophecy. Oedipus then killed a sphinx sent by the goddess Hera to punish Laius and subsequently married Iocaste, unaware that she was his mother. Ultimately a renounced seer named Teiresias arrived in the court of Oedipus and informed him that Iocaste was his mother. Iocaste hanged herself and Oepidus blinded himself in shame.
