Can you imagine Oedipus in therapy? "So, Oedipus, let's talk about your relationship with your parents." "Well, it's a bit complicated, doc. I killed my dad and married my mom." Therapist is probably thinking, "This guy makes my other patients' issues look like a walk in the park." And what about the therapist's notes? "Patient exhibits a strong aversion to family reunions. Seems uncomfortable around older women." No kidding, doc!
I bet even the therapist needed therapy after dealing with Oedipus. "I thought I'd heard it all, but this one really takes the cake. How do you even begin to unpack that kind of emotional baggage?

So, Oedipus, with his unique life experiences, probably had some interesting dating advice. Can you imagine him giving a pep talk to his friends? "Guys, if you really want to impress a lady, just blind yourself. It worked for me!" And the dating apps? "Swipe right if you're okay with complex family dynamics and a bit of a mommy's boy. Swipe left if you have a thing against prophecies and accidental patricide."
I can see his Tinder bio now: "Oedipus, 30. King of Thebes. Enjoys long walks, solving riddles, and accidentally fulfilling ancient prophecies. Looking for someone who can handle a little family drama.

So, Oedipus gets married to his mom, and I can't help but wonder about the family gatherings. "Hey, Oedipus, pass the mashed potatoes. Oh, and by the way, did you remember to take out the trash? It's the least you can do after marrying your mother." And imagine the holidays! "Oedipus, we're hosting Thanksgiving this year. You don't have any plans with your real father, do you?" Awkward! It's like, "Hey, Dad, remember that time I unknowingly killed you? Good times."
I bet Oedipus was the king of avoiding eye contact at family dinners. "Look, I love you, Mom, but I just can't make direct eye contact without being reminded of, you know, the prophecy and all.

You know, I was doing some reading the other day, trying to be all intellectual and everything. Came across this Greek tragedy called Oedipus Rex. Now, if you're not familiar with it, let me break it down for you. Oedipus, the main character, ends up killing his dad and marrying his mom. Yeah, you heard that right, the OG dysfunctional family. I'm thinking, "What kind of therapist do you even go to for that?" Like, "Hey doc, I've got these weird dreams, and I think I might have accidentally killed my old man." And the therapist is just there, "Well, it's not uncommon for people to struggle with family dynamics."
I can't imagine Oedipus on a first date. "So, tell me about your family." "Well, it's complicated. I accidentally fulfilled a prophecy that said I'd marry my mother. How's your relationship with your folks?"
I bet even Freud, the master of psychoanalysis, would have been scratching his head at Oedipus. "You see, sometimes a cigar is just a cigar, but sometimes a king unknowingly marries his own mother, and that's a whole different ballgame.
