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

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

[@aaronbecker5617]

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.

[@jaif7327]

@@user-ot2nh8qb7d thats not true, the lesser gods themselves are cruel due to their ignorance but the demiurge is compassionate and childish and the One is ineffable

[@ishikalal1669]

LOVED IT. Beautifully described, the vivid imagery in this video is incredible.

[@shubhamupman7260]

" Terrible is the knowledge, that only brings misery to those who know it." That is such a GOATED line !!🔥 Just heard the tale, truly sad and heart wrenching!

[@JJ_kook]

that's helped me for my homework ☺️❤❤❤❤

[@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.

[@meetuverma9933]

Very beautifully explained

[@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.

[@dediprasetiawan5987]

Dont forget the sin of Oedipus father, Laius, twho violate Chryssipus

[@milutinstankovic4638]

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

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

[@deenkumarjacob300]

Sophocles made the story of Oedipus an immortal one by his excellent narrative style. Really it is one of the most tragic end.

[@ShaukatAli-gf3jx]

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❤

[@dragonrykr]

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

[@Marley417]

Bro we read this in class and it made zero sense. I wish school would allow videos in class instead this helped me so much

[@carrasquillo40]

Interesting symbolism. Two different clairvoyants foresee doom and it ends with the hero losing both eyes.

[@10k-Noodles]

Dayum. They did him dirty.

[@adyseven1]

A Complex story no doubt 😊

[@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.

[@arifulislamjubaer]

Oracles are always such shady characters

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😂😂

Every Greek tragedy could have been avoided by avoiding the oracle.

So that is what people mean when they say to a man that he has an Oedipus complex. Many so called "mommas boys" are like Oedipus. However, Oedipus did not know. These mommas' boys are often trapped by a mother.
