Electra complex：恋父情结

来源于古希腊神话，厄勒克特拉（Electra）是迈锡尼（Mycenae）的国王阿伽门农（Agamemnon）和克吕泰涅斯特拉（Clytemnestra）的女儿。克吕泰涅斯特拉由于有了“外遇”，同情夫埃癸斯托斯（Aegisthus，阿伽门农的侄子）合谋杀死自己的丈夫阿伽门农，厄勒克特拉（Electra）在父亲被母亲谋害后，就把弟弟俄瑞斯忒斯（Orestes）托付给父亲的好友收留抚养，等到弟弟长大以后，她就同弟弟共谋杀了母亲及其奸夫，为父亲报了仇。厄勒克特拉（Electra）之所以这样做，是因为她认为母亲做得不对，做了不光彩的事情，对不起父亲。弗洛伊德取了这个神话故事的外表的个别情节，认为厄勒克特拉（Electra）有恋父妒母之情。“恋父情结”就是由此而来的。
