Yes, Theban King Creon is Theban Queen Jocasta's brother. So he's the brother-in-law of Jocasta's first husband, Theban King Laius. That makes him the uncle of the royal couple's only child, Oedipus. He also becomes the brother-in-law of Oedipus when the latter becomes his own mother Jocasta's second husband!
