That's what I never understood. Oedipus only fucked his mum because he didn't know who she really was. So, technically a motherfucker but it makes absolutely no sense as a psychology template (in my layman's eyes st least).

That’s sort of the point of the metaphor I think—Oedipus was driven to do it by fate even though the conscious awareness of it horrified him.
