This is a poem written by King Oedipus himself.
The Accused
I am Oedipus,
King of Thebes.
My rule is great,
I will see this plague eliminated.
I defeated the Sphinx
I rule honestly.
My kinsmen is a traitor.
I am the most intelligent
In all of Thebes. After all,
I defeated the Sphinx
I am the accused.
Am I the guilty?
A King, brought to
the throng by injustice?
I defeated the Sphinx
and the Prophet has defeated me.
