Black Retarded Lesbian: Oedipus

You already may have recognized that I am a great fan of comics and movies. Another genre I really like is classic tales, for example Greek tragedies. They are really moving and in a kind of way have a hilarious recurring structure.
At the beginning is an big cast of characters which is over the course of the tale reduced to only a few and one person is mourning about his mistakes and that he regret it to start this tragedy. One of the most famous figures from ancient Greece is Oedipus. Lets have look why he is a BRL
  1. His parents abandon him penetrate his feet and bonding them name Oedipus means swollen foot
  2. Kills his own father, Laios
  3. Marries his own mother, Iokaste
  4. After they discover the truth, Iokaste hangs herself and he displace his eyes
It’s a classic, but nevertheless the minimum of three is passed and that makes Oedipus a BRL.
