What Is It Called When A Son Has A Possible Incestuous Infatuation/obsession With His Mother?

I know there's 'obsession' and there's 'infatuation' and to a point there's 'incest' but what is the common known disorder or syndrome for a son to have this obsession with his Mother?? I've looked under Syndromes and Disorders and I KNOW there's a name for it. I just can't think of it right now!!!

    The term Oedipus Complex comes from a Greek tragedy by Sophocles.

        I believe it is called an Oedipus complex.  It was named after a famous Roman who had this sort of fixation with his mother.

        It was Greek myth , not Roman, and it was more than a fixation. He killed is father, married his mother and the ripped his eyes out!
