Crossword Genius

Greek king, complex for psychiatrists (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

oedipus

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'greek' is the definition.
(I have seen 'Complex Greek ' mean 'oedipus' so perhaps 'greek' could also mean 'oedipus')

I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for oedipus that I've seen before include "Theban king of legend" , "One who married his mother" , "He married his mother (and had a Freudian complex!)" , "Complex man" , "Mythical Greek king of Thebes" .)
