Myth of Oedipus



                                                  Myth of Oedipus:

                                               characters:

Oedipus: Son of Laius and Jocasta left to die after birth due to a prophecy, the heir to the throne of Thebes which unconsciously accede after killing his own father and king of Thebes at that time, fulfilling the prophecy had predicted years ago an oracle to his father why Oedipus murder him.



Creon: in the work happens to be the brother of Jocasta. The position assumed in events is that at death seizes the throne Oedipus not leave it to the child Oedipus, Eteocles who at the time was the rightful king. In a battle died the two brothers Eteocles and Polynices and retook the throne refused Creon decreed that burial rites to those who had fought against the city.
His virtues and qualities are that it is a passive man, able to solve problems and play a good ruler and is also characterized by being a self confident individual, bold and firm convictions.







Tiresias: He  was in charge of announcing the prophecies to Oedipus and knew very well take the role to make life a little impertinent Oedipus. He was blind by stating that Athena had seen while bathing.







Jocasta: Personally Yocastanos character we imagine as a woman very sentimental, dramatic and solidarity. We think it was OK to not want him to hurt his own son trying not realized he had killed his father and Jocasta did his best to help but when suicide for not having achieved their objective is me the dumbest way to lose your life and also a "get out of trouble," that no one deserves.










                                      the history






 King of Thebes,son of  Laius and Jocasta, king and queen of Thebes respectively. An oracle warned Laius would be killed by his own son. Determined to evade his fate, tied the feet of his newborn son and left to die on a lonely mountain. His son was picked up by a shepherd and given to the king of Corinth, who gave the name of Oedipus (swollen foot) and adopted it as his own son. The boy did not know he was adopted and, when an oracle proclaimed that he would kill his father, he left Corinth. During his journey, he found and killed Laius, believing that the king and his companions were a band of thieves and so unexpectedly fulfilled prophecy. Alone and homeless, Oedipus arrived at Thebes, beset by a horrible monster, the Sphinx, who walked the roads leading to the city, killing and devouring all travelers who could not answer the riddle posed them. When Oedipus solved the riddle correctly, the sphinx committed suicide. Believing that King Laius had died at the hands of unknown assailants, and grateful traveler about to deliver the monster, the Thebans rewarded him doing his king and queen Jocasta giving wife. For many years the couple lived happily, unaware that they were actually mother and son. Soon Oedipus inadvertently discovered that he had killed his father. Troubled by her incestuous life, Jocasta committed suicide and Oedipus when he realized she had been killed, took off his eyes and left the throne. He lived in Thebes several years but eventually banished. THIS IS ALL.

EATING DISORDERS.

I’m going to talk about eating disorders. Today, this is a very common issue, especially in women and teenagers.
Eating disorders are mental illnesses that cause serious dispersions on a person's daily diet. It can manifest as eating extremely small amounts of food or eating excesively. People with these disorders, besides having serious health problems also may suffer mental illnesses, such as depression. Three eating disorders are the most common: Anorexia, Bulimia and Obesity.

 ANOREXIA:

Anorexia is a mental illness that consists in lose weight voluntarily by a pathological desire to lose weight and an intense fear of obesity.
People that suffer this disease normally do the following things to lose weight :

       ·        Reduction of food, especially food that contain more calories.
·        Excessive physical exercise.
·        The use of medicins that reduce the appetite, and the use of laxatives and diuretics.
·        Vomiting intentionally.

In this way, there is a progressive malnutrition and, physical and mental disorders can be very serious and even cause the death.
 In the last ten years the number of people affected by anorexia has increased a lot. Today, in developed countries, anorexia affects about one in every 200 young people between twelve and fourteen years old.


BULIMIA:

Bulimia is a disease of nervous type that produces alterations in the behavior and in feeding habits. The patient feels the need of eating large amounts of food, usually food high in calories. Once the patient has eaten, it will invade him strong feelings of guilt. This, leads him to mitigate the effects, induced vomiting or taking laxatives, diuretics, and also excessive exercising. All this occurs at least twice a week for three months.


 OBESITY:

Obesity is a chronic disease characterized by excessive fat in the body and it occurs when the body mass index in adults is greater than 30. It is the most common nutritional disease in developed countries.
Previously, an obese person was seen as a person who was in good health, but now, we know that obesity has multiple consequences in our health: it’s strongly related to cardiovascular, dermatological, gastrointestinal or musculoskeletal diseases, etc..

In adittion, an obese child or an obese teenager has a lot of possibilities of becoming obese adults in the future. These two stages of life (chilhood and adolescence) are critical periods in the possible occurrence of this disease.

NARCISO.

The nymph Eco falls in love with a vain youth named Narciso, son of the nymph Liríope of Tespia. She concerned about the welfare of his son, Liriope decided consulted the seer Tiresias about the future of his son. Tiresias told that Narciso would live to a ripe old age while he never would see himself.

One day when Narciso was hunting deer, the nymph Eco stealthily followed the handsome youth through the woods, longing to embrace him but unable to speak first, as the goddess Hera cursed her just to repeat what others said .

When Narciso heard her footsteps behind him, asked: "Who's there?", To what Eco said, "Who's there?". They continued talking and she tried to hug his beloved.

However, Narciso rejected and he told her to leave him peace, and he left. Eco spent the rest of her life in solitude, she consumed by love will never know, until only remained her voice.

One day Narciso felt thirsty and he went to drink in a stream. When he saw him, he was fascinated by the beauty of his own reflection, he did not daring to drink for fear of damage him and he was unable to stop saw him. Finally he died contemplating his reflection and the flower that bears his name grew in the place of his death.





From this myth we can deduce the meaning of narcissism: excessive and exaggerated admiration felt by a person himself, by his appearance or his skills or qualities.
