Jealousy
Ah, how cruel this story is. Oedipus is such a great king. He cares for his people. The people which he saved. Of course the gods have to be cruel to him. Although it's not announced clearly, I feel that the gods continue in their twisted ways again. They have given Oedipus a wretched fate, and I believe it may have been from jealousy. They have dethroned a king who has become, to the people, a god of sorts. They are afraid of their thrones, yes? Their positions atop mount Olympus, as far as they see it, are in jeopardy because the people are now focusing on great King Oedipus. Oh how disgusting.

Yeah...The gods have a history of being absolute jerks. Seriously. So, the gods dethroning a king out of jealousy and egomania isn't exactly new. Heck, it's probably an everyday occurrence, which makes me wonder how Greece survived all things considering...
