I was in the play "Antigone" and I can tell you Oedipus's family continues to suffer, it doesn't end well for any of them cause the gods only teach cruel lessons
What about Ismene? The poet Mimnermus states she was killed by one of the seven during the siege, but Sophocles has her alive after the events of the siege, since she shows up in _Antigone._ The gods cursed Laius for what he did to Chrysippus. It's seems unfair that his descendants had to continue to pay for his crime.
@@user-ot2nh8qb7d thats not true, the lesser gods themselves are cruel due to their ignorance but the demiurge is compassionate and childish and the One is ineffable
Jocasta did not age because of the necklace of Harmonia. In fact that item could be the origin of not only Oedipus misery but of all tragedy that befall the house of Cadmus.Haphaestus cursed it .
Harmonia was the daughter of Aphrodite and Ares and Hephaestus avenge himself by giving that cursed necklace as a wedding present. The fact that it gives the wearer eternal youth caused many to sought it, willingly risking its curse. Harmonia and her husband were turned into snakes and the necklace create havoc wherever it went.
" Terrible is the knowledge, that only brings misery to those who know it." That is such a GOATED line !!🔥 Just heard the tale, truly sad and heart wrenching!
I hope you make a video (or rather a series) about the Seven against Thebes and the Epigoni. These two episodes are about two wars waged against Thebas which are consequences of this events and also Diomedes (yeah, the guy who injuried Ares in the Trojan War) has a big role on the second war.
The way you have said the story it's absolutely fantastic.When I heard it in the class from the mam that was a little boring,and hard to understand.But your video your speaking,the animation,it makes it the perfect way to understand the play❤
At last I found a video where everything clearly. It was so hard for me to found a accent which I could understand easily or explain the story well.😪 Thank you so much for the video 😊
Oedipus went to the oracle to get answers of his origins and the oracle with an intent to make him fulfill the prophecy instead tells him the prophecy. Very shady oracle lol. The oracle is to blame.
Wait… Does this mean if Oedipus had told his adoptive parents that he got this prophecy they could have told him that he was adopted??? And then he could have never came to that crossroad??
wow that's very beautiful history The Story of Oedipus (Complete) - Greek Mythology well so much sadly yup with 😮💨😢😭💔company with music classic but....well mm anyway ..i love your video my brother my father.
Similar to the king Darius story king of Persia he was left in the woods to die and a shepherd saved and raised him. And he became king and freed the jews and god called him a shepherd he was mentioned by Isaiah the prophet over 150 years before his birth.
15:05 if u insist that will be the only title u will carry in your life...The prophecy of Gods... May such phophecy doesn't exist in real life, how can God despise such a young man in his life.. Every one is God's own child
L'histoire de Oedipus est vraiment triste. Même s'il a essayé à s'échapper sa prophétie qui disait qu'il épouserait sa mere et tuerait son pere, cela s'est réalisé, malgré tout ses efforts. Sa mere est même morte des qu''elle decouvert qu'elle a epousé son fils. Si cruel.
Perfectly embodies what Oogway said in Kung Fu Panda:
'One often meets their destiny on the path they take to avoid it.'
"A person often meets his destiny on the road he took to avoid it." - Jean de la Fontaine
Thanks to this animated summary I have a great chance of passing my test
Exam stress. I feel for you. Hope u passed
For real
Me too😂
same bro, have a book seminary tomorrow on this story
lol me too
My man Oedipus ain’t deserve that fr
“And then there was that play, that Oedipus thing? Man, I thought I had problems!” - Disney’s Hercules (1997)
That's why I'm here😂
THIS!
dang
Also, Meg was the daughter of Creon, the brother of Jocasta. She basically took Hercules to see a play about her own family.
@@jagirl966 that’s even crazier
This definitely deserves more views, thank you for making this
I feel bad for Oedipus. He left his adoptive parents thinking he could escape the prophecy, but he unknowingly fulfilled it.
welcome to Greek fables.
It’s not real
@@Imblack218 and you have never heard the term "sympathetic character" or "suspension of disbelief"? you must be fun when going to watch a movie.
One often meets his fate on the path he takes to avoid it. Therefore, take the path to meet your fate in order to avoid it.
@@Imblack218 Doesn’t mean I can’t have sympathy for a character, does it?

It appears that all Gods or God, from any multi-theistic or monotheistic religions were cruel. Always bent on “teaching” some cruel lesson.
What about Ismene? The poet Mimnermus states she was killed by one of the seven during the siege, but Sophocles has her alive after the events of the siege, since she shows up in _Antigone._

👏👏 Well done. Now this is complete Greek Mythology. Now that was awesome complete story ever!

It's kinda sad that Oedipus didn't get to see his adoptive parents.
I know, right? They could’ve helped him.
@@baliyae If only they told him he was adopted
@@milutinstankovic4638 If he would have killed that one witness/servant of his real father, he never would have known anything. 🤔
They did.

LOVED IT. Beautifully described, the vivid imagery in this video is incredible.
that's helped me for my homework ☺️❤❤❤❤
After a long time.. i wanna hear this story again...have read about this a few years ago
Sophocles made the story of Oedipus an immortal one by his excellent narrative style. Really it is one of the most tragic end.
The way you have said the story it's absolutely fantastic.When I heard it in the class from the mam that was a little boring,and hard to understand.But your video your speaking,the animation,it makes it the perfect way to understand the play❤
Thanks! 😊

Thank you so much for the video 😊
we're glad you liked our videos. Thanks for your comment 😊
This needs more views!!
took my breath away. ive never heard before
Very beautifully explained
Oedipus went to the oracle to get answers of his origins and the oracle with an intent to make him fulfill the prophecy instead tells him the prophecy. Very shady oracle lol. The oracle is to blame.
Oracles are always such shady characters
I feel sorry for Oedipus!
Oh no I almost cried, this was heart breaking
All this, as a punishment for Laius' misdeeds. If one reads his legend, this cruel punishment does follow up.
Dayum. They did him dirty.
Bro with that kind of prophecy I'd question any woman that I was about to marry 😂
This story is the definition of dramatic irony, when the audience knows something that the characters don't.
Ahh so this is where sigmund Freud , developed the oedipus complex from , how interesting 😮
yes! 😂
Nice animations dude
thank you so much!💙
What a nice daughter. Not abandoning her father
And brother.
Every Greek knows the tragedy of the Theben King.
-Kratos, God of War Ragnarok
So according to my understanding Jocasta was Oedipus real mother isn't that right🤔?
Yes
Please bring this to your spanish channel along The Oresteia ❤
amazing video
Thats it. The sin of the father is the burden to the son. This maybe an example of what a generational curse is.
Thanks for this animated video, this can be my reference for our graphic book about Oedipus!
Wait… Does this mean if Oedipus had told his adoptive parents that he got this prophecy they could have told him that he was adopted??? And then he could have never came to that crossroad??
nah it's meant to happen even if he knew he was adopted
He would have somehow fulfilled the prophecy, you cannot run away from fate😂😂
Here after Ted-ed's own vid about Oedipus & yours is better
That was a high praise, my friend! Thank you!
wow that's very beautiful history The Story of Oedipus (Complete) - Greek Mythology well so much sadly yup with 😮💨😢😭💔company with music classic but....well mm anyway ..i love your video my brother my father.
I bet it was an eye opening experience 😏
A Complex story no doubt 😊
poor oedipus this made me cry and the last time i cried was months ago
Bro we read this in class and it made zero sense. I wish school would allow videos in class instead this helped me so much
there cannot be a more tragic story than this weaved by fate
Similar to the king Darius story king of Persia he was left in the woods to die and a shepherd saved and raised him. And he became king and freed the jews and god called him a shepherd he was mentioned by Isaiah the prophet over 150 years before his birth.
You mean Cyrus the Great

Great explanation
I’m glad that he was able to get a happy ending in Hades
I heard about this guy because he's the main inspiration for Oh Dae Su from Oldboy.
"one often meets his destiny on the road he takes to avoid it"
You do not want to be over at his house at the holidays. It’s awkward.
Thanks to this haha i hopw i will pass my exam on Monday ❤
So Jocasta was Oedipus’ biological mother, fulfilling the prophecy?
Exactly.
@@Daniel-cn5pd Thank you!😀
So I work for a brewery called Oedipus, and this is NOT the story I tell them about our name hahaha. Still makes sense though
do you have the story of Antigone?
L'histoire de Oedipus est vraiment triste. Même s'il a essayé à s'échapper sa prophétie qui disait qu'il épouserait sa mere et tuerait son pere, cela s'est réalisé, malgré tout ses efforts. Sa mere est même morte des qu''elle decouvert qu'elle a epousé son fils. Si cruel.
Waiting a long video about Oedipus
I feel sorry for him, how could he have known. 🥺😔😔🥺🥺🥺
No words ❤
In real life, the sons of Oedipus and Jocasta would be anormals.
Very sadful tragedy, I'm feeling too sad for Oedipus Rex as well as his Mother Jocasta and illias 😢😢😢😢
The OG MF 😩
where can I get the pdf version on the complete story? I need to cite lines for a project I have
the part where he journeys to apollo
Here’s the thing: the Oracle actually walked to the King and Queen and field the prophecy.
One often meet his destiny to path he takes to avoid it…

Great story of his awosme I love it
The daughter dropped this 👑
Who is here after blink movie 🤩
Me! Watch predestination movie!
The kind Oedipus doesn't deserve this 😢
Isn’t fate just cruel?
Its so unfortunate what happened to him.
Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his
No comment ❤❤❤❤❤
6:43
wait so what happened to that one guy who escaped oedipus while he killed his dad and the other guys?
Maybe it's tiresias
Why isn't this a movie?!
the whole greek mythology could be a netflix series. idk what's stopping them 🤦🏽♀️
Well there is movie base on ths story called edipo re
Came here after watching terror in resonance 😅
If only the king and queen didn't allow their son to be away from them,then the horrible prophecy might not be fulfilled...
Greek gods were watching a tragic film up there
Only intervening to make things worse
My god this is so messed up
Ignorance is bliss
This mythology tells you of greed,cowardism of man ,wanting more never being satisfied with oneself not gods
Ouch my eyes 😭 All Tragedy
This is why you tell kids they’re adopted
Thats a twisted execution, especially for a baby.
Journey to the west day 8
It really is a messed up story but a lot of them were back then
A tragedy
Thats one shouldnt go to soothsayers, fortune tellers etc😂😂😂
I feel bad for this man 😢

What I get from this story is, is that life is unfair.
Such a sad destiny! Cruel and unfair destiny!
