Laio -- pestilence

Speranza Seneca, Oedipus 647 ff (trans. Miller) (Roman tragedy C1st A.D.) : [The ghost of Laios (Laius) demands that Oidipous (Oedipus) be expelled from Thebes before he will recall the pestilent daimones ravaging the land back to Hades:] "[Laios:] ‘Wherefore speedily expel ye the king from out your borders, in exile drive him to any place so-ever with his baleful step. Let him leave the land; then, blooming with flowers of spring, shall it renew its verdure, the life-giving air shall give pure breath again, and their beauty shall come back to the woods; Letum [Ker, Ruin] and Lues [Nosos, Pestilence], Mors [Thanatos, Death], Labor [Ponos, Hardship], Tabes [Phthisis, Corruption] and Dolor [Algos, Distress], fit company for him, shall all depart together. And he himself with hastening steps shall long to flee our kingdom, but I will set wearisome delays before his feet and hold him back. He shall creep, uncertain of his way, with the staff of age groping out his gloomy way. Rob ye him of the earth; his father will take from him the sky.’" Seneca, Oedipus 1052 ff : "[After blinding himself and heading into exile, Oidipous calls upon the pestilence daimones to depart Thebes:] ‘All ye who are weary in body and burdened with disease, whose hearts are faint within you, see, I fly, I leave you; lift your heads. Milder skies come when I am gone. He who, though near to death, still keeps some feeble life, may freely now draw deep, life-giving draughts of air. Go, bear ye aid to those given up to death; all pestilential humors of the land I take with me. Ye blasting Fatae [Keres, Fates], thou quaking terror of Morbus [Nosos, Disease], Macies [Ischnasia, Wasting], and black Pestis [Nosos, Pestilence], and mad Dolor [Algos, Despair], come ye with me, with me. ‘Tis sweet to have such guides.’" http://www.theoi.com/Daimon/Nosoi.html
