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.

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.
