Homer briefly summarises the story of Oedipus, including the incest, patricide, and Jocasta's subsequent suicide. From a Freudian perspective, "A Horseman in the Sky" exemplifies "Bierce's compulsive acts of patricide". Reyna is reluctant to discuss the incident because patricide is "unforgivable" in New Rome. The oracle told to Laius tells only of the patricide, whereas the incest is missing. Still shaken from his act of patricide, Uco discovers the bug in his wallet. This was a result of the trial of the Tochigi patricide case. He was convicted and executed for the crime of patricide. These include patricide, law and order and social problems. In early human history there have been notable instances of patricide. Kashyapa was also known as "Pithru Ghathaka Kashyapa" (Kashyapa the Patricide), after this incident. In many cultures and religions patricide was considered one of the worst sins.
