Answer:
This shows that the citizens of Thebes see the king as someone who does not appease fights and disputes within the family itself.
Step-by-step explanation:
The dispute between Oedipus and Creon occurs when when Creon tells Oedipus about the words of the prophet, regarding the death of the former king of Thebes. Creon claims that the prophet said that the king's killer is in the city and needs to be captured and expelled, or the plague that has settled in the city will never end. Oedipus, who is the king, is already suspicious about his involvement in the death of the former king of Thebes and this is making him very upset. He begins to believe that Creon is conspiring with the prophet to drive him crazy and therefore states, in an irate way, that he will kill Creon.
Thebes people know about this episode and for this reason they tell Jocasta that the king was not innocent, but someone unbalanced and that he cannot calm conflicts.
This question is about the story "Oedipus king" that tells the story of Oedipus and the profession that he would kill his own father and marry his own mother.
