It seems really strange to me, that a man (king) who loves his kids so much, would neglect and let abuses happen to a such small baby, on the mere words of priests
I don’t understand how he can’t even look at her like she’s a person - not mentioning family
I find it crazy, but this is a common tale
- There’s a parabole like that in bouddha scripture with a kind being abusive to his son prophetised to kill him : in the en the son does kill the king who abused him so bad
- Oedipe is about the same story ; if the king hadn’t thrown the baby away for fear of a prophecy, nothing would have happened in the first place
What do you think ?
What would you do if your religious authority told you your child is cursed?
