In Greek mythology, Jocasta did not directly kill her children. She unknowingly married her own son, Oedipus, and had children with him. Oedipus later learns the truth and gouges out his own eyes in despair, while Jocasta commits suicide.
Eteocles, Polynices, Antigone, and Ismene were the children of Oedipus and Jocasta.
According to the Oracle at Delphi, yes. No one forced him to kill Laius or marry Jocasta, but it was his destiny to do so.
She hung herself.
That thier son will kill it's father (Laius) and marry it's mother (Jocasta).
Oedipus and Jocasta had two sons, Polynices and Eteocles and two daughters, Antigone and Ismene.
No, Oedipus' mother (Jocasta) kills herself.
scene 4
Arrange to kill him is what Jocasta does to her baby in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban monarchs Laius and Jocasta hear a prophecy that their son will grow up to kill his father. Killing an infant is not serious whereas killing one's father and sovereign is in ancient Greece. Laius therefore orders Jocasta to kill Oedipus. Jocasta relays the order to her most trusted servant that Oedipus must die by exposure in the mountains outside Thebes.
Jocasta, Oedipus' mother is the mother and grandmother of Oedipus' children.
Antigone, Ismene, Eteocles, and Polynices
Jocasta does not talk to Oedipus about their children in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Queen Jocasta makes just two references to a family life. She makes the first one when she discusses her first husband King Laius and their infant son whom she says is dead. She makes the second one when she goes inside the palace to kill herself. She speaks of her first born child who becomes her husband and with whom she has children.
The oracle told Queen Jocasta and King Laius of Thebes while she was heavily pregnant with Oedipus, that the child was destined to kill his father.
