In Sophocles’ widely famous play, Oedipus the King; Oedipus is caught in a very complex situation. Incest. Incest...with his mother. That's not all the story is about though. The Gods are mad at Oedipus. You could say, he just can't win. Oedipus is king and becomes very arrogant throughout the story. Hubris is also a word you could use. Oedipus didn't actually know that he was in a relationship with his mother. Some people could say this is an action of Hubris, but it really isn't. Especially when after he found out, he took out his eyes. That is a little extreme. His mother didn't know for the longest time about the relationship being inappropriate either. When she found out, she committed suicide. Oedipus just has a rough life.
