Long before the play opens Laius, Oedipus' father, kidnapped the young boy Chrysippus and was then cursed by Chrysippus' father, Pelops. The weight of this curse bore down onto Oedipus himself. An oracle prophesied that he would kill his father and marry his mother, Jocasta. Seeking to avoid such a fate, Laius was very careful with his wife Jocasta and did not touch her. Since Jocasta did not know of the prophecy, she felt she must have a child, for the only way for her to gain honour was to get pregnant.

A deferred sentence or a deferred judgment? enormous distinction. in case you have been convicted and the decide deferred you sentence, the conviction is what is going to take place on the background examine. A deferred judgment isn't a conviction (assuming you met the situations of the courtroom), and could not take place.
