Packet 10: Tossup 7

This (15[1])character is told “you yourself are (15[1])the criminal you seek” before his death at (15[1])(*) Colonus. (10[2])After this character’s sons kill each other, only one is given a burial, dismaying his daughter, Antigone. (10[3])This character (10[1])recalls killing King (10[1])Laius (10[1])at a crossroads in the first of a trilogy of plays by Sophocles. For 10 points, name this king of Thebes who unknowingly killed his (10[1])father and married his mother. ■END■ (10[2]0[2])
