This is like terminal "has only read two stories in her entire life" shit but also like. Elden ring demigod family is so thebes royal family coded. To me

#and i dont say it because oedipus incest ahahaha #i am actually referring more to the whole. precedent stuff #a la cadmos/pentheos/laios where the main patriarchs have sinned in the eyes of those above them #and this caused their family to be giga cursed and doomed to fail from the start #there IS something about the labdaicides cycle in them but its more of the womb motif stuff than incest #<<although one could argue thst the reason why the womb motif is so poignant in the thebian cycle #is *because* of the parent child incest shit
