"When Oedipus reached Thebes, he encountered a Sphinx. 'If you want to pass this point alive, you must answer my riddle: explain to me the plot of Neon Genesis Evangelion.' It was at this time that Oedipus knew he was in trouble. 'What's the matter, Sphinx? Too deep for you? Go watch something more your speed, a baby anime like Lucky Star.' Defeated and ashamed, the Sphinx had no recourse but to let him pass."--/r/evangelion
