'Was Oedipus, the parricide who sired children by his mother, a product of the subconscious mind as Freud thought? Was he a mythological person? Or was he a real, historical person?...In Oedipus and Akhnaton, Immanuel Velikovsky has come up with a new investigative basis for identifying the scene and all the personages of the Greek Oedipus legend with the life patterns of the family of the Eyptian King Akhnaton, reputedly the first monotheist and the father of the famous King Tutankhamen, during the most famous period of Egyptian history.'
