oedipus solve the riddle
Suicide and blinding are the violent actions committed offstage respectively by Jocasta and Oedipus in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Queen Jocasta and King Oedipus of Thebes are upset about finding out that they are not only wife and husband and but also mother and son. Jocasta locks herself in the bedroom and hangs herself with the threads from her own robes. Oedipus blinds himself with two golden brooches from Jocasta's robes.
Antigone's mother was Jocasta, wife of Oedipus, who was Antigone's father. The play Oedipus Rex, in which Antigone is a non-speaking character, describes the relationship of Jocasta and Oedipus - unbeknownst to them, Jocasta was actually Oedipus' mother in addition to his wife. When they learn this, Jocasta kills herself and Oedipus blinds himself.
