Epic of Oedipus of Thebes

Of Oedipus of Thebes
remembering
I tell you the story
with sorrows and glories
of Oedipus of Thebes.

The Oracle told him
Oedipus, your life
will be eventful
you will be a parricide,
the Oracle told him.

He kept saying
Although I detest
telling you this
there is, there is an incest coming
he kept saying.

Knowing such a thing
his father King Laius,
swift as lightning
told a servant
knowing such a thing.

You will take my son,
I don't want him to grow up,
make him perish
as you see fit
you will take my son.

Having carried out the order
the very unfortunate one
with his feet tied
remained, remained hanging
having carried out the order.

Oedipus saved himself
and killed Laius
fighting him alone
sent him to the sky
Oedipus saved himself.

Weeks later
he advances to Thebes
manages to solve
a certain riddle
weeks later.

The Sphinx of Thebes
when defeated
gets upset, gets angry
and becomes, and becomes ointment
the Sphinx of Thebes.

And without realizing
he is married
to who they already know
his own mother
and without realizing.

From his own children
there are great consequences
and even though it hurts him
Jocasta is a grandmother
of his own children.

Oedipus upon knowing
in an interview
with his analyst
blinds himself
Oedipus upon knowing.

Moral:

When facing a Sphinx
posing a dilemma,
avoid the problem
by changing the subject
when facing a Sphinx.

Loving mothers
take precautions
for the effusions
of male children
loving mothers.

To not repeat
the tragic story
of Oedipus and Jocasta
what has been said, enough
to not repeat.
