Oedipus the King What did the shepherd do to the baby he had been ordered to kill in Oedipus the King? Asked by bookragstutor on 28 Nov 08:47 Last updated by Jill W on 30 Aug 14:02
The shepherd was not ordered to kill the baby. He was given the child, who he took to Corinth where the local King, who is childless, adopts the baby and raises him as his own.
