Jocasta realizes she married her son, Oedipus, when she learns the truth about his identity. Initially, she dismisses the prophecy that her son would kill his father and marry her, believing her son was abandoned and killed as a child. However, upon discovering the details of Oedipus's past and the circumstances surrounding King Laius's death, she connects the dots and understands that Oedipus is indeed her son. This realization leads to her tragic despair.
