It bothers me that Oedipus wasn't even aware that she was his mother, and Freud named it that anyway
Ya and if memory serves i think he clawed his own eyes out and committed suicide after finding out.
Obsessed with a mother figure, destiny controlled by a higher authority which withholds the full picture, and he literally kink-shamed himself to death.
Oedipus was the quintessential Catholic before Catholicism existed.
Yeah, that's the whole point. It's a subconscious drive.
