Antigone, Oedipus the King, Electra by Sophocles

Interesting.....read it for school. It was good, but the incest threw me. I mean it wasn't like he knew that his prophecy was actually going to come true. He thought he avoided it from leaving his "parents" that he thought were his birth parents. I think since he was in the dark about his past, that it wasn't as bad when he found out the truth. When he married Jocasta, he had no clue that she was actually was his mom and that the man he killed was his birth father. It wasn't like he knew from the start and decided to marry her and kill his father anyways, so it somewhat excused the incest a TINY bit. It still disturbed me when I found out though.
