Urgh!! Psychology and Ancient Egypt go together like gasoline and fire. Conclusion: While people may look at it and go "ooh cool!", the result is just not good.

The idea of psychoanalyzing people who have been dead for thousands of years with very little evidence is just wrong on SOO many levels. As in, it's the wrongest thing since the idea to make a Tut movie!

Oh thanks!
i think i remember hearing of him, a couples of years ago, now that i think about it!

Hi Guest,

You're right in most of what you said. I'm not saying I'm believing the Oedipus-Akhenaten theory, but I'm not saying i'm not believing it either.

However, I don't think Akhenaten's story couldn't affect the Oedipus story. True that Sophocles probably never heard about Akhenaten but he didn't made up the story, it was a well known story at that time and he just wrote a play about it (like Shakespeare wrote about Romeo and Juliet, that was based on a true story too.) So I thought maybe the legend could have its origins in Ancient Egypt.
