Oedipus and Akhnaton

- Myth and History

About Oedipus and Akhnaton

Who hasn’t heard of him – Oedipus, the tragic figure from Greek mythology whose shocking fate has moved so many generations, inspired so many writers and even found his way into modern psychology through Sigmund Freud? Is it conceivable that this figure and his fate was not a creation of human fancy at all but the conversion of real historical happenings? This question is posed by Immanuel Velikovsky in the present book. Like a detective, he takes the reader on a unique investigation full of suspense, breathtaking surprises and insights while meticulously searching for traces of a finding that seems to be even more incredible than the original myth itself. The most popular pharaonic family of all – Akhnaton along with his wife Nefertiti and his son Tutankhamen – are exposed as the real protagonists of the Oedipus saga.
