What does Oedipus think is unlucky about Laius' fatherhood in 'Oedipus Rex'?
That he has no one to defend him is what Oedipus thinks is unlucky about Laius' fatherhood in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Laius dies under mysterious circumstance. No one in Thebes looks into his death or carries out mandatory cleansing rituals. But years later, King Oedipus makes it clear that he will do what is left undone. He owes it to Laius, the first husband of Oedipus' wife Queen Jocasta.

Revenge on Laius' killer, who is Oedipus, but nobody knows at the time.

It helps establish Creon as a foil for Oedipus, thus highlighting Oedipus's tendency not to think before he speaks.
Who do you think is the better leader Oedipus or Creon?
I personally think that Oedipus is a better leader because he was willing to exile himself to protect Thebes from the plague. Also, in Oedipus Rex, Creon discusses with Oedipus that he does not want to be king because he didn't want that responsibility; as long as Oedipus was king, he had all the privileges of royalty without having to worry about the politics of it.
What does Oedipus think about the clue Creon reveals about who murdered king laius?
