Oedipus Rex, by Pier Paolo Pasolini (1967). The hero of classical Greek tragedy and incest ignored

Abstract

The sexual incestuous practice, already out it is explicit or not - practised or not-, has accompanied the man from your origins. The prohibition, the horror, the nonchalance or the social regulation of such practices have been many of the forms (ways) by means of which the man has faced to the incestuous sex, but it is not up to the appearance of the artistic texts when one begins to question and think about the incest. Already be across mythological texts (the myth of Oedipus), of classic Greek tragedies (Sophocles), or of films (Pasolini), the man thinks about the love and the incestuous sex, as one more mechanism to reach a happiness that, in the human being, always is finite.
