""Broadly speaking, Velikovsky argues that the Pharaonic house and family of Amenhotep III through Ay of the 18th Dynasty in New Kingdom Egypt provides the historical inspiration for the Greek myth of the Theban rulers from Laios through Kreon." So says the author of one of the web pages that examines Velikovsky's theory that the myth of Oedipus, who killed his father, answered the riddle of the sphinx, and married his mother is derived from an Eqyptian renegade pharaoh and his family. It was one of the books we weeded from Granger's library because it was too old and is now out of print. Apparently, from the number of sources that still debate this theory on the web, it's still a hot question and fascinating to many people."
"this was a really interesting book. Velikovsky does some rather ocnvincing speculation that the Egyptian Pharoah Akenhaton (the one who went crazy and changed age old traditions of religion and art) was the real world inspiration for the Greek character Oedipus.
A worthwhile read (if you can find it!) if you have any interest in Greek Mythology, or Ancient Egyptian history. It's like ancient conspiracy theory!!"
"Velikovsky asks why the Oedipus legend has a sphinx outside the city of Thebes, when the sphinx is not a part of Greek mythology. He then attempts to connect the Greek legends with historical events in Egypt involving the pharaoh Akhnaton and his family. I was fascinated by this book and whether it is true or not is irrelevant because it makes you reexamine what you think you know about history."
"Velikovsky is a genius who had to fght all is life asainst the scientific establishment. you must read his books in order to sense his concepts. once you do you get hooked up and think for yourself-maybe we should listen to other voices concerning our past. this book is one of his best. his portrayls of the connections between myth, history and modern times will leave you mesmerised. highly recomended!"
