The pestilence is the inciting incident in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the inciting incident describes the event that triggers all subsequent happenings in the play. It therefore is the pestilence with which Oedipus, the priest of Zeus and the suppliants are concerned when the play opens. The characters spend the rest of the play finding the cause and carrying out the solution to bad harvests, declining populations and dying livestock. Without the inciting incident of the pestilence, there in fact will be no story.
Once the Exposition has come to an end, the Inciting Incident begins the forward movement of the plot.
