When Oedipus, King of Thebes, realized he had married his own mother and had two sons and two daughters with her, he blinded himself and cursed his sons to divide their inheritance (the kingdom) by the sword.
Cando Edipo, rei de Tebas, descobre que casou coa súa propia nai e que tivo dous fillos e dúas fillas con ela, cegouse a si mesmo e maldiciu ós seus fillos a dividir o seu legado (o reino) pola espada.
