1. What happened to Oedipus as a baby?

ACCORDING TO THE THWART PROPHECY, Laius told his servants to pierce the baby's ankles, so that it would not be able to even crawl, then he gave his son to one of Thebes’ shepherds, telling him to leave the baby in the mountains to die.

(Hope this helps can I pls have brainlist (crown) ☺️)

Explanation:

When a child is born, the king pierces his ankles and abandons him to die on a mountaintop. However, a shepherd discovers the infant and brings him to Corinth's King Polybus and Queen Merope, who name him Oedipus and nurture him as their own.

A shepherd took pity on the baby, and King Polybus of Corinth and his wife ad0 pted him and raised him as their son. Oedipus went to Delphi as a young man, and after discovering that he was doomed to kill his father and marry his mother, he vowed never to return to Corinth.

In Greek mythology, Oedipus is the son of Jocasta and Laius, the king of Thebes. The baby Oedipus was saved by a shepherd after being abandoned on a mountain by Laius, who had been warned by an oracle that he would be slain by his own son.

Read this excerpt from "the light of gandhi's lamp" by hilary kromberg inglis, in which she describes driving to the police station where her sister is being detained. to avoid looking at the blackened windows at the top of the building and thinking about the history of who had died or been tortured there, i always looked instead at the little chinese restaurant on the opposite side of the road. how does this passage affect the text? it conveys, with great subtlety, the conflict she felt over having a sister who would break the law and end up in the custody of the police. it conveys, without any implied moral judgment, that those who fought against apartheid considered themselves to be soldiers in a just war. it conveys, with an extended metaphor, the idea that being detained by the police in this society was regarded as a badge of honor. it conveys, with direct language, the view held by many anti-apartheid activists that the police often acted in brutal and unlawful ways.
