Later on in the story Oedipus continues to help the people. He recalls when he killed the travelers where the roads met, and remembered what Apollo had told him, that he would kill his father. After thinking about how he killed the travelers and the death of Laius he starts to wonder if he had killed his father and if what Apollo is said is true and coming to be, despite his best efforts to avoid them. Also Oedipus accuses Creon beforehand of killing Laius believing himself to still be innocent, it is only later that he may start to realize the truth of what has been happening.
