Answer 1: Brief Summary

The Oracle of Delphi tells King Laius of Thebes that he'll have a child who's destined to kill him and sleep with Laius's wife, Jocasta, the boy's own mother.

answer 2.You probably have visions of a robust bouncing baby, but in reality many newborns are tiny, wet creatures when they first arrive. Often their heads are slightly pointed as a result of passing through the birth canal. This is only temporary — the head will take on a rounded look within a few days. It may surprise you that a newborn's head is so big compared with the rest of the body.
