I feel bad for Oedipus. He left his adoptive parents thinking he could escape the prophecy, but he unknowingly fulfilled it.

One often meets his fate on the path he takes to avoid it. Therefore, take the path to meet your fate in order to avoid it.

I was in the play "Antigone" and I can tell you Oedipus's family continues to suffer, it doesn't end well for any of them cause the gods only teach cruel lessons

[@user-ot2nh8qb7d]

It appears that all Gods or God, from any multi-theistic or monotheistic religions were cruel. Always bent on “teaching” some cruel lesson.

[@missanne2908]

What about Ismene? The poet Mimnermus states she was killed by one of the seven during the siege, but Sophocles has her alive after the events of the siege, since she shows up in _Antigone._ The gods cursed Laius for what he did to Chrysippus. It's seems unfair that his descendants had to continue to pay for his crime.

[@carlosaugustodinizgarcia3526]

Jocasta did not age because of the necklace of Harmonia. In fact that item could be the origin of not only Oedipus misery but of all tragedy that befall the house of Cadmus.Haphaestus cursed it .

[@PungiFungi]

Harmonia was the daughter of Aphrodite and Ares and Hephaestus avenge himself by giving that cursed necklace as a wedding present. The fact that it gives the wearer eternal youth caused many to sought it, willingly risking its curse. Harmonia and her husband were turned into snakes and the necklace create havoc wherever it went.

It's kinda sad that Oedipus didn't get to see his adoptive parents.

I know, right? They could’ve helped him.

👏👏 Well done. Now this is complete Greek Mythology. Now that was awesome complete story ever!

The way you have said the story it's absolutely fantastic.When I heard it in the class from the mam that was a little boring,and hard to understand.But your video your speaking,the animation,it makes it the perfect way to understand the play❤

Thanks! 😊

[@moonlover2022]

I feel sorry for Oedipus!

[@abidaamindiba1670]

At last I found a video where everything clearly. It was so hard for me to found a accent which I could understand easily or explain the story well.😪 Thank you so much for the video 😊

[@SeeUinHistory]

we're glad you liked our videos. Thanks for your comment 😊

[@cavc94]

I hope you make a video (or rather a series) about the Seven against Thebes and the Epigoni. These two episodes are about two wars waged against Thebas which are consequences of this events and also Diomedes (yeah, the guy who injuried Ares in the Trojan War) has a big role on the second war.

[@10k-Noodles]

Dayum. They did him dirty.

[@kwameawereohemeng3931]

Oedipus went to the oracle to get answers of his origins and the oracle with an intent to make him fulfill the prophecy instead tells him the prophecy. Very shady oracle lol. The oracle is to blame.

[@ariellalocalwaves]

took my breath away. ive never heard before

[@ningthemyumnam8931]

After a long time.. i wanna hear this story again...have read about this a few years ago

[@dragonrykr]

All this, as a punishment for Laius' misdeeds. If one reads his legend, this cruel punishment does follow up.

So according to my understanding Jocasta was Oedipus real mother isn't that right🤔?

[@Flugs0]

Yes

[@GamzeenMakara]

Wait… Does this mean if Oedipus had told his adoptive parents that he got this prophecy they could have told him that he was adopted??? And then he could have never came to that crossroad??

[@psyche.9262]

nah it's meant to happen even if he knew he was adopted

[@ItzSamkele]

He would have somehow fulfilled the prophecy, you cannot run away from fate😂😂

So I work for a brewery called Oedipus, and this is NOT the story I tell them about our name hahaha. Still makes sense though

Similar to the king Darius story king of Persia he was left in the woods to die and a shepherd saved and raised him. And he became king and freed the jews and god called him a shepherd he was mentioned by Isaiah the prophet over 150 years before his birth.
