Ok King I will Ahhh shepard, I need you to take my son and kill him!
Even after being told the story of what Oedipus will do, the king of Corinth did not kill him and continued to raise him as a child. Years later Oedipus found out the King and Queen of Corinth weren’t his real parents. He set off to find his destiny.
