In this story, there will be a dialogue between a father and a son where they talk about a terrible betrayal they witnessed.
One of the most wicked betrayals. Although, the child sounds more disappointed and apparently the father was actually aware of this before it happened but he didn’t stop it just because he didn’t want to interrupt the natural course of things. The child was desperately seeking poetic justice. For more content, follow us on Twitter (X) --> @metastories_pod

Imagine a species, that has no distinctive physical advantages, cannot run fast, does not have strong claws and teeth, is not very smart to begin with, cannot climb well, has no skin or fur to protect herself or himself, cannot see very well, cannot hear very well, and can only give birth to one offspring per year, and most of these births would end up with death anyway…. How did this species become the most dominant species in the world? Human babies are the weakest creatures in the world, yet, they managed to bring all the other creatures to their knees.
it will be good to throw a recap before we season 4 where we remind the motivations of this show!

An ancient character from ancient Greek tragedies, Oedipus. One of the main characters from the classic “the three theban plays” written by Sophocles.
Most of you would already know the tragic story of Oedipus. The man who murdered his own father, married his own mother and has been the father to his brothers and sisters.
After Oedipus and Antigone traveled through the darkest nights, they finally reached their final destination, the city called Colonus where they will meet with an oracle. So let’s begin to our story.
Small Blue Eyes In His Enlarged Eyeballs
Tue, 27 Feb 2024 20:12:20 +0000
After a while when Oedipus met the oracle, this time we will be guests to another tragic story in which this time is directly linked to Antigone, the daughter or the sister of Oedipus… but also the niece of the new King of Thebes - Creon.
After the conflict between Oedipus’s two sons Eteocles and Polynices, and after they died, Creon became the king, the new ruler of Thebes.
Creon gives Eteocles a full and honorable burial, but orders (under penalty of death) that Polynices' corpse be left to rot on the battlefield as punishment for his treason. Such state of non-burial was considered a frightening and terrible prospect in the culture of ancient Greece. Antigone, the daughter of Oedipus and Jocasta, who is betrothed to Creon's son Haemon, defies him by burying her brother, and is condemned to be entombed alive as punishment. Antigone tells Creon that it is the duty of the living to bury the dead and that if a body is not buried then the one who died will wander around in nowhere aimlessly for all eternity. Creon finally relents. However, when Creon arrives at the tomb where she was to be interred, Antigone has already hanged herself rather than be buried alive. And his son, Haemon, ends up taking his own life.
Our story starts in that small cellar where Creon sees the dead bodies of his son and his niece… and starts with a great regret!

After a short while when king Creon faced his own tragedy, he decided to follow Oedipus’s footsteps and went to Colonus to find the Oracle whom Oedipus had spoken to before.

Let’s dive into our story of hands in red, and the house with the red door.
