This article, in response to Harris (2010), reconsiders whether Oedipus, on his own account in Sophocles’ Oedipus Tyrannus (798-813) of his encounter with Laius, would have been regarded by fifth-century Athenians as legally guilty of homicide (either wilful or unwilful), and concludes that he would not, because he was responding to a potentially lethal attack. There is no inconsistency between the treatment of this issue in Oedipus Tyrannus and its treatment in Oedipus at Colonus.Este artículo, en respuesta a Harris (2010), replantea la cuestión de si Edipo, a partir de su propia narración del enfrentamiento con Layo en el Edipo Rey (798-813) de Sófocles, habría sido considerado legalmente culpable de homicidio (voluntario o involuntario) por los atenienses del siglo V, habida cuenta de que su acción era la respuesta a una agresión potencialmente letal, y se llega a la conclusion de que no lo sería. No hay ninguna incoherencia entre el tratamiento de este asunto en Edipo Rey y en Edipo en Colono
