What five truths does Teiresias tell Oedipus in

1. Oedipus killed his father, Laius, and married his mother, Jocasta.

2. Oedipus will one day be exposed as a parricide and an incestuous man, and he will be cast out of Thebes.

3. Oedipus's sons, Eteocles and Polynices, will kill each other in a war over the throne of Thebes.

4. Oedipus will wander the earth in exile, blind, and begging.

5. Oedipus will find peace and redemption at the grove of the Eumenides in Colonus, where he will die.
