Theban Queen Jocasta is first to realize that her husband, Theban King Oedipus, is her son. That's why she begs him to stop the search for the killer of Theban King Laius. She walks away when she doesn't succeed in this attempt. She goes off to her room, and kills herself.
Jocasta's first marriage had begun on a sour note because of a dreadful prophecy. It was predicted that she and her husband would have a son who'd kill his father and marry his mother. She and Laius tried to keep the prophecy from coming true. But their plans and efforts only ensured the carrying out of the horrible warnings.
