In his text “Female Sexuality,” published in 1931, Freud emphasizes how the passionate attachment that the daughter feels for her mother lasts throughout her entire life, since her instinctual drives are, as he says, “incommensurable.” He compares the two stages of the feminine Oedipal process to two historical periods of Ancient Greece: the Minoan-Mycenaean civilization having been covered over, but only partially, by Greek civilization. On the basis of clinical situations deriving from fictional treatments and characters such as Electra and Salomé, the authors try to show how the first Oedipal attachment can invade the second stage, adversely affecting the process of becoming-woman.
