That they have not been in each other's presence since infancy is the reason why Jocasta and Oedipus are married without knowing that they are mother and son in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Queen Jocasta gives her three-day-old infant son Oedipus over to her most trusted servant to kill. Unbeknownst to her, the servant hands Oedipus over to a Corinthian shepherd who gives Oedipus to the childless Corinthian royal couple. Mother and son therefore lead their lives without knowing of each other's existence.
