Might be an idea to try reading the story first before commenting. Oedipus never knew who his parents were so it was only after he was married that he found out it was his mother.

Delphi, means womb. Where Mother Earth was worshipped under the name Delphyne, the womb of creation. The Patriarchal god Apollo took over the shrine until christian kings had it destroyed.

ethyline? here is another srange connection for ya; methamfetamine Methamphetamine increases alertness, concentration, energy, and in high doses, can induce euphoria triggering a cascading release of dopamine in the brain. In the United States, methamphetamine is FDA approved for the treatment of ADHD
