Oedipus

Oedipus' family issues seem really weird and disgusting to me at first. But now that I think about it, I feel pity for Oedipus. He was abandoned by his own parents. He grew up not knowing that the people who raised him are not his real parent. He killed a stranger without knowing that the man is actually his dad. I mean, just think about it, to not know who your real parent are; and to not know that a stranger you see on the street is actually your father; and moreover to kill that man with your own two hands without knowing that he is your father is really sad. He married a woman without knowing that she is his mother. I think his story is more than just about a disgusting relationship. It's just really sad to me. I find it rather hard to read.
