No, Theban Queen Jocasta suggesting seers sometimes make mistakes isn't what happens first in 'Oedipus Rex'. In fact, she isn't around when the play begins. Instead, the scene opens to an interaction of Theban King Oedipus, the priest, and suppliants outside the royal palace of Thebes.

The problem is the intervening role of prophets between gods and mortals. Jocasta says that prophets are not gods and can make mistakes and that some prophecies therefore do not come true.
