In Greek mythology, King Laius (/ˈleɪəs, ˈlaɪəs/ L(A)Y-əs) or Laios (Ancient Greek: Λάϊος, romanized: Láïos) of Thebes was a key personage in the Theban founding myth. Laius was the son of Labdacus. He was the father, by Jocasta, of Oedipus, who killed him.
In Greek mythology, Laius (/ˈleɪəs, ˈlaɪəs/ L(A)Y-əs; Ancient Greek: Λάϊος, romanized: Láïos) is a Cretan man who attempted to steal from Zeus, the king of gods, and was punished for it. He was transformed into bird for attempting to steal from him.
The Cretan Laius and three other men, Cerberus, Aegolius and Celeus entered the sacred cave of Zeus in Crete where the young god had been born and brought up with the aim to steal some of the sacred honey produced there by Zeus's former bee nurses. Zeus thundered and stripped them of their brazen armors. He meant to kill them all, but the goddess of justice Themis and the Fates advised Zeus against doing that, saying the cave as a holy place should not have anyone be killed inside it. So Zeus turned them all into birds instead; Laius became a blue thrush (laios). Laius shares a name with a mythical king of Thebes, the father of Oedipus.
