Ugh, why did I ever get involved?

Laius (my dad, who I unknowingly killed… oops)

None (I'm not even sure why my parents had me, considering that whole prophecy thing.)

Antigone
Ismene
Eteocles
Polyneices

I freak everybody out. Only my daughter Antigone ever stuck by me.

Myself (I caused all my own problems)

Was married to Jocasta. Yes, my mom. I get it.

I just don't risk it anymore.
