Literally translates to "King Oedipus."

A greek tragedy from the greats. The story of a king whose fate is to kill his father and marry his mother.

Yes, those are true, but Oedipus Rex is more widely known as the controversial passage of famous Doors song The End.
Oedipus Rex
Song:
The killer awoke before dawn, he put his boots on.
He took a face from the ancient gallery and he walked on down the hall.
First he went into the room where his sister lived, and then he paid a visit to his brother, and then he walked on down the hall.
And he came to a door, and he looked inside. Father? Yes, son? I want to kill you. Mother? I want to F*CK YOU!!!

The psychological term coined by Sigmund Freud named after the mythical king of Thebes and the legend based around him. In Greek myth, Oedipus killed his father and married his mother, but without knowledge that either were his parents. Freud's theory proclaimed that, at an unconscious level, a male's sexual preference would be based around the actions and personality of his mother. The male child would also feel extreme animosity towards his father, again at an unconscious level. The phenomenon in females is called the Electra Complex.
The Oedipus Complex is not a group of condos in Coconut Grove, Miami, but rather the explanation that, no matter what you do, it always has to do with you secretly wanting to fuck your mother.

The subconcious urge that young males have to penetrate both their parents; one with a sword, the other with one's penis.
Sigmund Freud had some fucked up ideas.

Sigmund Freud just made the Oedipus Complex to justify his own sick desire to do his mom and off his dad.

A text message one (being a male member of his species) sends his biological mother that is sexually explicit in nature. This practice is (usually) accidental, (usually) meant to inquire concerning sexual activity with another member of the species, and (usually) sent under the influence of intoxicating substances.
Dude, I need to either stop dating Helens or change my mom's contact name to "Mom" in my phone. I totally sent an Oedipus Text last night!

Freudian theory that we all want to fuck our mothers and kill our fathers at some stage in early childhood. It is normal and the emotion need not be suppressed. Three year olds are normally to small to act out this desire.
