That he is a constant reminder of the failed revolt that is a mortal life is the meaning of the last line in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, the last line advises the audience that no one can be happy as long as Theban King Oedipus lives. Oedipus is cursed because of his family background and because of his own proactiveness gainst a horrible fate. The gods lack well wishes for mortals, whose only happiness is in entering the deathly Underworld of the afterlife.
