The Psychology of King Oedipus

Oedipus Rex is an ancient Greek tragedy written by playwright Sophocles and contains various kinds of psychological phenomena. Most noteworthy is the myth of the famous Oedipus compound word created by psychologist Sigmund Freud in the late nineteenth century. In psychology, "complexity" refers to the stage of development. In this case, the stage usually includes the desire of a man 3-5 years old, owning a mother either sexually or romantically, and the results of his father's indignation. In the play, the prince, Oedipus, tried to escape the prophecy that he married his mother by killing his father and coincidentally took Abys out of a man called Sphinx. Please rescue the monster.

For Oedipus's comment, reading Sophocles' play "Oedipus the King" with fresh eyes is an interesting process that keeps in mind that I know "know" about this story. Freud applied it to apply it to human psychology and my own spirit (partly from the popular show "The Gospel of Colony"). As a disapproval of my preconceived, this extraordinary drama reveals itself in several dramatic ways that stand out from the earlier alias German legend "Enuma Elish" and Hesiod "Theogony".

Oedipus - The hero of King Oedipus and Oedipus of Cologne. Before the action of King Edpses began, Edips was king of Thebes. He is known for his ability to solve wisdom and mystery - he rescued the town of Tabe and became king by solving the mystery of Sphinx. However, Edips had stubbornly turned his attention to his truth. The literal meaning of his name ("swollen foot") is a clue to his identity - he was taken away from the house of Lyus as a baby, and his feet were on the hill. On his way to Thebes, he killed his biological father, he did not know who he was, and began marrying his biological mother Jocasta.

Tiresias - Thebes' blind fortune teller Tiresias has appeared in Oedipus and Antigone. In the King of Oedipus, Tiresias told Oedipus that he was a murderer of hunting, Oedipus did not believe him. In Antigone, Tiresias told Creon that Creon himself was bringing disasters to Thebes, and Creon did not believe him. However, both Oedipus and Kryon claim to be convinced of Tiresia. The literal expression of the prophet refers to the figurative blindness of those who refuse to believe the truth when spoken.
