By primitive Jung does not mean neanderthals. By primitive Jung means a civilization that is yet not advanced. For example, some modern tribes would be primitive to Jung, and he even uses southamericans from the 1950s as an example. In this case, not being able to write your own myths is pretty primitive, don't you think? Even if there were advanced cities that wrote these myths afterwards, it doesn't matter because Jung is talking about their creation, not their distribution.
>Myths often exist in multiple versions, reflecting different cultural, historical, and regional contexts.
Sure. Yet both of the most popular versions of this myth include Oedipus killing his father and marrying his mother. One of these versions predating the writing of greek mythology itself. So, when talking about historically arguing mythology (as he says he is doing in the beginning of the first pic), how can he even say that the original myth was different when the earliest version we know was exactly what he is negating?
I'll cite your first picture:
>in the original story on which Freud's Oedipus comples theory is based, Oedipus neither killed his father nor lay with his mother
I guess by "original" he does not mean the oldest (Which would be the definition of the word original. By the oldest I mean Homer) or the most popular (Which is what Freud based his theory on. Sophocles), but some weird version that he cherrypicked.
P.s.: If I get trips then synchronicity is real and Freud is gay
