The Greek Trickster

I was so entertained watching it, cuckolding Zeus was so creative. Being forced by fate to kill my father and marry my mother turned into killing my heavenly father and marrying my queen, right?

🤭 I haven't read the novel yet. I just read The Story of Oedipus. My first impression is that this curse is so powerful that you can't die before it achieves its goal. So before you become an adult, practice to death. Not many Greek heroes can do this.

Is Zeus, the Greek father god, another kind of father? Is Hera a different kind of mother without her stepmother?

In my opinion, any plot that reveals that the protagonist is a time traveler is a big poison.

You play chess with others and there is a win or loss at the beginning, but you know that the person who continues to win must be you. Then the opponent is replaced and the chess game is destined to win. There are two possibilities of losing and drawing. No one knows the result before the chess game is over because the destined fate has changed at the moment of substitution. This is the essential existence of the time traveler, that is, variables.

Oedipus can guarantee that he will be treated as a heroic spirit by Pluto. The more he earns, the better.

If there is deceptive authority, you can try it. For example, the prophecy is "Kill the father and marry the mother", but it does not say that it must be biological. You identify an enemy as the father and then kill him. Recognize a figure as your mother and marry her. This refers to a real figure. What if you randomly find a girl who happens to be your biological mother? Of course, you can use the power of deception to deceive fate.

So far, I have a lustful heart but no lustful courage.

The biggest variable is the time traveler. The fate of the original owner has already changed at the moment of time travel.

The tragedy of Oedipus, what should my mother do?
