: Hi,
: I was just wanting tio answer your question. The Oedipus complex is Freud's description of a man wanting to be with his mother. This name comes from the famous Greek Myth Oedipus Rex. In this myth Oedipus was told by the oracle that he was going to kill his father and marry his mother. He didn't belive this. Years went by and in the end this happens. The theory is of a man wantng to be with his mother. There is also an opposite theory to this. It is called the Electra theory in which a girl wants to be with her father.
