Oedipus Prophecy

Cronus was a great god of greek times. He was a son of the original titans, Gaia, and Uranus. He married Rhea and had 6 kids with her. Cronos had an uneasy conscience, he was afraid that one of his kids would eventually rise up against his authority, as predicted in a prophecy by his father. To make sure the prophecy wouldn’t be fulfilled he would swallow his kids right after they were born. When his 6th child was born, Zeus, Rhea tricked him and gave him a stone covered in baby clothes to swallow instead of his son. A few years passed and Zeus came and fulfilled the prophecy by making Cronos throw up the remaining of his children and dethroned him as the supreme god. This story, similar to Oedipus’ has a prophecy that was tried to be unfulfilled,
