    In the Sophocles story, Oedipus is not raised by his real parents. They order that he be put to death as a baby because of the prophesy, but the person ordered to carry it out can’t go through with it, and he is taken to another kingdom.

    Ah yes, The Police. The group that made songs about stalking and statutory rape popular.

    Sigmund Freud took that Greek tragedy very seriously.

    Barring the occasional pedophile that rapes his daughters, which doesn’t count because it’s not concensual, does sexual/incestuous “love” between parents and children really exist in the world today? Is it not considered criminal in every religion and in every culture?

    ^ The word I have trouble with in your post is “occasional” – otherwise, you’re probably right.
