Oedipus: fake or reality?

When I was reading Oedipus today, Mr. Thompson told us about how guys had sort of like a crush on their mothers. That's very interesting because it kind of explains our society in a eerie fashion. You see, if guys become attracted to their mothers, they are more likely to grow up and marry somebody/anybody. Men are always the "leaders" since the beginning of time. If they are not attracted to women then how will they approach each other. In other words, how will our society increase in numbers if men are not fruitful (there's a mature way of stating the obvious). 

This interesting fact that I came up with leads to my overall point. Today especially, there were more "ewwws" being heard in the crowd. The reason why is because we learned that Oedipus married his mother. That's beyond lurid!!! I mean, if this took place in our world today it would be disgusting and in fact the law would have something to say about it too. However, this lesson was not a shock for me. My mother has always lectured me on Greek mythology as well as the Roman laws. Back in the time, people believed that family are the only people who really understand you and have no eye for your money. Well, this is true in some cases. So, what they would do was marry their siblings or parents. Especially royal families. They believed that other people like peasants, or maybe lower class men were covetous for their prosperity. Did you know that Hera, Zeus' wife was so in love with her own son, Hercules, that she tried to kill him? Wow, what a good mother!
