Focusing on the hands that killed Laios, Oidipous grants that they could not have belonged to the blind seer. That again hits the nail right on the head: though gifted with insight into the god’s project, the priestess at Delphi could not commit the deed for the god with her own hands—those hands necessarily belonged to Oidipous, the unwitting agent. This strongly suggests that when Oidipous killed Laios he was in fact acting as the hands for one who had need of them: the god. [Apamu]
