Letter to Oedipus

Your Majesty, Oedipus

I feel terrible. I’m so sorry you were accused of killing your father, my ex-husband.
The city wants you dead because they believe that you’ve killed Laios however, I know that he was killed by strangers at a crossroads where three roads meet.
We need to make people believe us. Believe you. You did not kill Laios, Laios was not killed by his own son’s hand.
We must speak to the city, to the world. The Gods know it’s not true, they know what happened to Laios.
I don’t want you to die. I love you.
