When the child was born, however, Laius 1 remembered the oracle, and being determined to get rid of his newborn son, pierced his ankles with brooches or spikes before he gave him to a herdsman to expose him on Cithaeron, a mountain between Boeotia and Attica.

It was then that brave Menoeceus 1—father of both Jocasta and Creon 2, and a firm believer in seers and oracles indeed—, having heard Tiresias's pronouncement, threw himself from the walls of the city, and died.
