Comparing Oedipus And Other Forms Of Kramus

Krampus, a mythical creature that is considered to be anti Santa, was created to scared kids into being nice. Who is characteristically to be demonic satyr who instead of treating kids for being nice he beat and flays to make nice. This character has been suppressed by most religions until recently. Originally it was practiced in Germany where men would dress up in devil costumes on December 6th and go beat naughty children. Krampus is considered in Norse mythology to be son of hel. This is why I feel this a average teaching. Some other forms of Krampus include a washtub in which he tosses naughty children to be taken away and eaten , drowned , or put into slavery at his castle. Krampus also may appear with a chain which represents
the binding of the devil in all damnation. In more tourist friendly versions Krampus is more humerous than fearsome. Although this legend is dark and ruthless, I still feel he is a part missing from the world right now.
