Oedipus blinds himself once he learns of the suicide of Jocasta, who is his wife, his mother, and the mother of his children. It's his way of punishing himself for the albeit unknowing incest.Once blinded, Oedipus asks his brother-in-law and uncle, Theban King Creon, to exile him. It's his way of being punished for the albeit unknowing crimes of killing one's father and one's sovereign. The alternative punishment is execution. The form of execution is unspecified. But dying under a volley of citizen thrown rocks is a distinct possibility.
