Oedipus

 Oedipus was a really good greek tragedy. The story itself was really crazy though because, it had to do with things that are nasty and really odd now a days. For example: Oedipus killed his father and had babies with his mother. Even though Oedipus didn't know it was his father who he killed and mother that he slept with until the end of the story, it still is weird and really sad when he finds out he did these shameful things. At the end of the story Oedipus gauges his eyes out because, according to him, he won't ever see anymore "joy." He also is banished because he said at one point of the story that whoever killed Laius should be banished from Thebes. From this story came a term called Oedipus Complex, which is when a child feels sexual desire for the parent of the opposite sex and desires the death of the parent of the same sex.
