This is going to be a complex answer.
The Goddess Hera, wife of Zeus, hated Hercules as he was the illegitimate son of Zeus and a married woman. As Hera was the Goddess of Marriage and Matrimony and the Home and such things you can see how her offence might be particularly sharp. She tried to kill him ever since his birth.
When Hercules was first married Hera set a bout of madness upon him and he killed his wife and children. As penance for these killings Hercules was set to perform twelve labours by his brother-in-law.
The second of these labours was perhaps the most onerous. Hercules was sent to kill the Hydra and extremely poisonous monster that guarded on of the entrances to the underworld. The story and battle of that encounter is complex and deserves its own section. Suffice to say Hercules won and, being the clever man he was, dipped his arrows in the blood of the Hydra to make them poisonous as well.
A long time later Hercules is again married, this time to a woman named Deianeira. One day they are travelling and need to cross a river. A centaur named Nessus offers to carry them across one at a time. He takes Deianeira first but instead of returning for Hercules runs off with Deianeira. Offended Hercules takes out one of his arrows and shoot the centaur dead.
Dying Nessus tells Deianeira that his blood is magical and if Hercules ever proves unfaithful to her that an application of his blood will return Hercules to her. She believes him and keeps a bottle of his blood.
Years later Hercules does in fact start to fancy other woman, so Deianeira smears Nessus' blood on a robe and has it sent to Hercules to wear. The plot here becomes rather complex, involves a couple of servants running after each other. but the result is Hercules dons the robes and proceeds to get eaten up by the Hydra's poison in Nessus' blood that came from the poisoned arrow Hercules shot into him.
The story now gets a bit grotesque but ends up with Hercules burning himself to death on a funeral pyre.

What quote in the Disney film 'Hercules' refers to Oedipus?
The play and the blinding are the quotes that refer to Oedipus in the 1997 Disney film "Hercules."Specifically, Hercules mentions his rough day. But then he puts it in the context of those who have it far rougher. He refers to "that play...that Oedipus thing." He then states "Man, I thought I had problems," which may be playing on the same sounds in "I" and "eye."
