No, Theban King Oedipus isn't Theban Queen Jocasta's brother. Instead, Theban King Creon is Jocasta's brother. Oedipus is Jocasta's son and husband.

There is nothing that Jocasta convinces Oedipus to do to Creon in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the chorus leader advises Creon and his brother-in-law Theban King Oedipus that they need to end their quarrel. He cautions that Queen Jocasta, Creon's sister and Oedipus' wife, will do it for them. But in fact, Jocasta contributes nothing to the quarrel's resolution. Instead, it is the chorus leader who manages to get Oedipus to back down from executing his brother-in-law.


Is Creon Jocasta's brother?

Yes, Theban King Creon is Theban Queen Jocasta's brother. So he's the brother-in-law of Jocasta's first husband, Theban King Laius. That makes him the uncle of the royal couple's only child, Oedipus. He also becomes the brother-in-law of Oedipus when the latter becomes his own mother Jocasta's second husband!

Creon is a brother of queen Jocasta, the wife of King Laius as well as Oedipus (Jocasta's son).
