Frasier

Oedipus Complex: The crux of the episode deals with the Freudian idea of the Oedipal desire, that all young men go through a stage, usually in early childhood, of romantic/sexual feelings towards their mother. It stems from the Greek tragedy of Oedipus of Thebes, who, because of a prophecy, killed his father and married his mother, Jocasta, despite all efforts to avoid this fate. In fact Niles even relates the tale to Martin. Upon learning of his crime Oedipus blinds himself with the broaches from Jocasta's dress. There is a specific reference to this scene, where Frasier attempts to blind himself with Niles's bug spray after realizing the truth.
