The story of Œdip’s family is that of a sinister lineage, the Labdacides. In that family, marked by “the Gods desire”, in which misfortunes and limpings of the soul keep recurring from generation to generation, only affiliation reading is done: the original curse weaves the invisible and endless weft of inheritance, filters through marriage bonds and bends heirs’fates. But family in a group sense is never referred to. What would the fate of Œdip’s children have been, had a research work on family group inter-subjectivity and particularly brotherly relationships been possible? Would a mythopoiesis work have allowed the resuming, the change and development of “the working with malediction part of heredity”?
