      It’s actually pretty rough that he is synonymous for wanting to fuck one’s own mother. In the myth he was prophesied what would happen, and he tried hard to avoid it. When it eventually still came to pass neither he nor his mother knew who the other was, and when he learned of it he gouged out his eyes and abdicated from the throne while his mother/wife hanged herself.
