So, about Oedipus...?
Wouldn't people learn a lot more from the tale of Oedipus if Freud hadn't mauled the point of it for his creepy theories?

Well, it is true to some point but on the other hand, many wouldn't even know the tale of Oedipus if it hadn't been for Freud's theory. (btw, i agree, his theories were creepy ...)
However, because of Freud many people forget that it was a story about the destiny and fate.
