Very well written, literary,
Very well written, literary, well researched. Congratulations to the author for having come up with a new version of the Oedipal myth -- He is quite right, Laius orders that the infant Oedipus shall be exposed on a mountain side, with his heels sewed together (so Oedipus cannot crawl)-- thus giving Oedipus his name when he is rescued (unknown to Laius). The fatheer tries to murder the son -- long before Oedipus kills Laius. Laius knows who he tries to kill. Oedipus kills Laius in dispute over who shall precede through a mountain passage (oh - how vaginal), not knowing that the old man with whom he disputes the mountain pass is his biological father. Thanks.
