The Forgotten Son

This week we have been spending a lot of time studying the Tale of Oedipus and the burdens he carries passed down from his father. The fact that King Laius hooked his baby sons feet to a chain to hang Oedipus off the side of a cliff. He was lucky that he was a babe when that happened because the pain of having your ankles pierced is excruciating, trust me I know. Oedipus being taken to Corinth allowed him to live and the prophecy Apollo had laid before the old king.
