Part 2:
Oedipus, former king of Thebes, loving son and husband of Jocasta, and father and brother of four, passed away near the holy wilderness outside Athens early Friday morning. He leaves behind two daughters, Antigone and Ismene, and two sons, Etocles and Polynices, both afflicted with the curse passed down from Oedipus. Life played a lot of tricks on Oedipus, he was crowned king after unwittingly murdering his own father, and also unknowingly married his own mother. Oedipus also achieved many great things in his lifetime, such as deciphering the great Sphinx’s riddle to save the city of Thebes from certain peril. He was buried near the holy wilderness outside Athens and his funeral was attended by his close friend Theseus and the gods.
