Creon’s son was in love with her and arrived too late to free her because she committed suicide. He then killed himself in front of Creon and only then Creon recognize the errors of his ways.

Jason and the Argonauts: Medea (Jason's wife) murders their sons to spite him, he loses his kingdom and is crushed by his own boat (the Argo) as an old man. Cicada was a man who fell in love with a Muse. The Muse begged Zeus (her father) to make Cicada immortal, Zeus did but didn't give Cicada eternal youth. Cicada aged into a immobile husk, forced to watch his Muse wife cheat on him constantly because she didn't want to be with him anymore. Finally she turned him into a bug (a cicada) so he could at least shed his form and move around and not be her problem. Artemis was tricked into killing the only man she ever loved (Orion the hunter) by her brother Apollo in an archery contest. There's plenty more, not saying Oedipus isn't a sad story, but there's plenty of competition. Not just Medusa's.

@@iquoteeverythingisay4627 Yet apparently we never learned the lesson. Look at the world today say we aren't self fulfilling the prophecies of the alleged holy books ... and those religious devotes actually do everything in their power to see it fullfilled be that by not acting but allowing things to happen, helping in purpose to have the prophecy fullfilled, or trying to restrict humanity in order to allegedly avoid it which bacfires as in the story we just heard ... We just seem to be doomed to repeat stupidity. So obsessed with reaching heaven we trample everything in our path knowing this prophecies are meant to annihilate the world ... Sad but there you have it. It's always the believers the screw things up

I don't think coz once he knew of the prophecy he distanced himself from his adopted parents fearing it. Had he been brought up properly by his birth parents, that prophecy would have remained unfulfilled since he was an intelligent n nice guy

It’s weird to me that he literally murdered a guy on the road and never thought to himself that he might’ve murdered the king.

But the prophecy only happened because they tried to prevent it in the first place. Their actions of trying to change the future are actually what caused it. Oof in other words

It s more like it was destined for them to try and prevent the profecy and by that it ll cause it because nobody can change the future, u may think that u are but actually ur just walking the same way towards ur destiny

Despite the term's origin, you have to admit, Oedipus never wanted to marry his mother of sort. He was a capable king and he did ran away because he did not want to do that with his parents, he ran because of love for them. Though he is too gullible and too impulsive for the prophecies that he had to accuse his own brother-in-law, whom was loyal to him, leading to the deaths of both his adoptive parents and his biological. But even in shame he did not shied away from responsibility, even if it took mutilating himself. He at least had his daughter accompany him until the end of his life.
