Feedback from our friends, family, fellow brewers and festival goers continues to be a critical part of the process of refining Oedipus beers. In his dying moments, the hapless villain realises that, in seeking to avert the prophecy, he had, in fact, helped it to come true. Oedipus commanded him to leave the place. He also accuses Creon, the person who brought Teiresias, for planning this perplexing scene in an attempt to undermine Oedipus. He ran away from Corinth that night, trying to escape his fate. Was it in fact fate to begin with? In his fit of unleashed anger, he attacks and kills the men, not knowing that one of the men is King Laios. At this point, Oedipus has realized that he indeed killed his father and slept with his mother.
