Oedipux Rex (Oedipus the King), is one of the greatest Greek tragedies written by Sophocles. Oedipus, abandoned at birth, returns as an adult to (unknowingly) kill his father and wed & bed his mother. His mother ends up hanging herself, and Oedipus gouges out his eyes.
I think perhaps Barnes is suggesting that the object of this song is the one person he can explore the outer limits of sexual transgression with.
