Oedipus had a conflict with the traveling king, and Oedipus killed the king.

After that, he took possession of the carriage and entered the royal palace.

Oedipus entered the royal palace and married the queen and became king of Thebes.

But he never imagined that the king who paraded on the mountain path was actually his father, and that it was his mother who now shared his bed.

In an even more tragic time, the hammer of fate's judgment fell on the people, and the disaster raged in this country, and the whole country was tormented by the disease.

Oedipus understood that he was to blame for the suffering of the people, so he poked his eyes with a needle and left Thebes, never to see the light of day, and was tormented in hell for eternity. ”

Chen Ya finished the story and asked Wen Yu, "Do you understand?" ”

Wen Yu was silent for more than ten seconds, and then said, "There are a few questions. ”

What Wen Yu wanted to say, Chen Ya didn't know, the only thing that was certain was that what Wen Yu said was definitely not something that a normal person would ask. To say the least, Wen Yu was deliberately messing with her.

However, it doesn't matter, because she doesn't have the right to refuse, so she can only say to Wen Yu: "Please speak." ”

When she said this, she could even imagine Wen Yu's proud appearance, the kind of way I won, which made people very unhappy, but it was useless to be unhappy with Wen Yu.

In other words, making her unhappy is exactly Wen Yu's purpose, and Wen Linxi couldn't be clearer. In the days when they were tutors with Wen Yu, they became friends, and they also touched Wen Yu's personality almost perfectly.

The only thing this very smart girl can't do is talk well.

Wen Yu said: "First, 'a shepherd'. Literally, a shepherd should be used. One, it doesn't sound very pleasant, and Oedipus is supposed to belong to the European story, it is not right to use an honorific title.

Second, Oedipus was raised by King Polybus, and since King Polybus raised him, he should belong to the nobility, why would he go to be an adventurer?

Third, Oedipus kills the traveling king. This is impossible, since it is a king, there must be a strong guard with him, even if it is so-called or something; But if Oedipus kills the king, he will not survive, let alone have the opportunity to marry the queen.

Fourthly, the queen is his mother, that is to say there is a big age difference between them, assuming that Oedipus has entered the royal palace, why would he marry an old woman?

Fifth, if Oedipus was abandoned as a baby, then the chances of him returning to his mother are small, and the chances of being recognizable are even smaller. If it had been recognized before, such a story would not have happened, and if it had not been recognized before, it would not make sense to suddenly recognize it later.

Sixth, Oedipus finally leaves the country blinding himself. It can't be, if he really committed such a big crime, he should be guillotined, not simply be able to leave. ”

On the other end of the phone, Chen Ya didn't say a word for a long time.

It was surprising that Wen Yu's dead end was so clear and clear, you know, most of the time, even if she knew what to say, she would never be able to organize her language in such a color. For Wen Yu, language is something that expresses her heart, as long as she can express her inner thing, she doesn't care what kind of words she uses, and she doesn't care if her word order is chaotic.

What's more, when talking to Wen Yu, it's normal for her word order to be abnormal, if her word order is normal, there is no doubt that it's time to scold.

At this time, her word order is so normal, of course, she is finding fault with Chen Ya.

In the face of her provocation, Chen Ya wanted to say something, but she always felt that no matter what she said, it was in vain, she talked about Oedipus, just because she happened to be watching the Sophocles tragedy collection recently, so she wanted to use the story of Oedipus to scold Wen Yu.

However, Chen Ya read other people's stories and did not bring the stories in the books into real life, so when she was asked by Wen Yu, she became at a loss.

In the final analysis, Chen Ya is an ordinary person, she reads books, at most, she adds some spice to her life from the story, and finds the most suitable path for her life.

And this process is long and complicated. It's not like reading a book or listening to a lecture and you'll get the answer. What did she see in the story of Oedipus, even she herself was not very clear, but she just thought: what a tragic story! So much for.

It would be difficult for her to think seriously like Wen Yu.

It's not right, Wen Yu may not have thought seriously at all, she just found out these things that are inconsistent with reality in order to go against Chen Ya.

Finally, Chen Ya found a place to refute her: "First, this is the translation, the so-called translation is to translate different questions into the questions we are familiar with, and the difference in the questions determines that this translation is destined to have a certain error, and it can only be infinitely close to the original work, but it cannot be the same as the original work."

Second, the author of the story of ancient Greece is not a person from the industrial age, and what Greece was like at that time cannot be fully explained by archaeology now. Therefore, King Polybus raised Oedipus, and it is true that Oedipus was a nobleman, but there is no archaeological data that this nobleman could not be an adventurer.

In other words, the word 'adventurer' is also added by modern people, and belongs to a different culture, so it is normal for there to be errors, and if you have to be more serious, go to Sophocles himself for advice. Of course, if time could be reversed or there was hell, I think he would tell you.

Third, there are historical sources that a city-state in ancient Greece even had only a few thousand people, and a king who led a few thousand people probably only had a total of a dozen or twenty guards. There may only be one or two attendants, and since Oedipus is an adventurer, he must have quite a strong force, and it is entirely possible that he will kill the guards and the king.

In addition, since it is a parade, it must be in his own city-state, plus it is a mountain path, and a pampered king faces an adventurer who licks blood from the knife edge, and the victory or defeat is immediately clear.

Fourth, are there still a few cases in history where old husbands and young wives and young wives are young because of power? If nothing else, let's just say that a generation of empress Wu Zetian, during her reign, there were thousands of male favorites in the harem. Wu Zetian said that the emperor was already sixty-six years old, no matter how he thought about it, it was impossible for that queen to be sixty-six years old.

And the sixty-six-year-old Wu Zetian also has countless beautiful men in the world, and there are four beautiful men with both talents and appearances, Xue Huaiyi, Shen Nanli, Zhang Yizhi, and Zhang Changzong. It can be seen that in the face of the desire for power, age is not worth mentioning.

If you think Wu Zetian's legend is too far away, the popular phrase 'girlfriend's 60th birthday' on the Internet is very revealing.

Fifth, even if Oedipus was abandoned as soon as he was born, it is entirely possible to recognize his birth mother. In a city-state with only a few thousand people, the surrounding city-states should not be very big, and parents can easily lose their children.

In other words, among the children who may be abandoned, there are only a few families. Isn't it easy to find your own baby among these families and abandoned children!

In addition, it is really difficult to explain such a thing as kinship. Invisible guidance, you can't deny that it doesn't exist, then it exists.

He was blinded and left the city-state of Thebes, which would be tantamount to exile. In ancient Greece, exile was probably already a heavy punishment.

Moreover, after all, he is a person who has done the past, and he is voluntarily exiled for the sake of the people, how can the people bear to cut off his head.

Besides, this is a story, and since it is a story, it is understandable that there are some irrationalities. Even in real life, not everything is reasonable and legal in accordance with the laws of nature. ”

Wen Yu made a funny sound, and then provoked Chen Ya: "So, if you haven't finished reading it, don't use it to educate me, and then tell me when you finish reading, otherwise, I will treat you as a fool." ”

At this end of the debate, Chen Ya asked Wen Yu, "How do you know that I haven't finished reading?" ”

Wen Yu said proudly: "We have been getting along for a long time, and I know you much better than you think." If you've read it, you should have lashed out at me more forcefully, and fought back more ruthlessly. What you just said is just a phenomenon and not brought into the story, which means that you haven't finished reading it, maybe just read the table of contents, and then you probably know that the story is like this. ”

Chen Ya smiled, what Wen Yu said was right, she really hadn't read Oedipus yet. Just read something from the catalog, and then read a short story of Oedipus on the Internet before.

Now, she began to think, "It's a mistake to tell Wen Yu about Oedipus." However, the mistake had been made and it had been pointed out, and she had no choice but to admit defeat. Even if she doesn't want to.

Because Wen Yu would never let her get her wish, even if she chose to ignore it, Wen Yu had a hundred ways to let her continue this topic.

Chen Ya said to Wen Yu: "You are so smart, if you work harder, I guess I won't dare to talk to you." ”

Wen Yu said: "You want to tell me, although you are very smart, don't give up your efforts." Is that so? ”

"You heard it, yes, that's it, although you are very smart, but don't give up your efforts, there is still a long way to go, and if you give up now, it will be a pity."

Wen Yu pretended to be old: "If you don't regret six points in life, won't it be very miserable in the future." Think about it, after the age of sixty or seventy, looking back on my life, I am only left with loneliness and loneliness, and I don't know what to work on. ”
