She kills herself
He finds out he is really the son of Laius and Jocasta.
Jocasta is Oedipus' mother and wife and queen of Thebes.
That she is the mother who believes in infant killing and who marries her own son are reasons why Oedipus plans to kill Jocasta in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Oedipus learns that he is the biological son of his wife, Queen Jocasta. He realizes that he is alive because Jocasta's most trusted servant does against orders and does not kill the three-day-old infant Oedipus as he is ordered to do. He sees that Jocasta has the greater blame in the incest since she gives birth to him and should have recognized him as her only child from her first marriage.
Eteocles, Polynices, Antigone, and Ismene were the children of Oedipus and Jocasta.
Antigone's mother was Jocasta, wife of Oedipus, who was Antigone's father. The play Oedipus Rex, in which Antigone is a non-speaking character, describes the relationship of Jocasta and Oedipus - unbeknownst to them, Jocasta was actually Oedipus' mother in addition to his wife. When they learn this, Jocasta kills herself and Oedipus blinds himself.
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.

That Jocasta is dead and that Oedipus is blind is what the audience learns from the Second Messenger in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the Second Messenger comes out of the main entrance to the Theban royal palace. He informs the chorus of Oedipus' initial plan to kill his wife Jocasta with his sword. But he finds her already dead by hanging with the threads from her own gown. Oedipus removes the brooches from Jocasta's robes and plunges them into both his eyes.
Creon is Jocasta's brother.
Jocasta takes Oedipus' side in the argument. Antigone is the daughter of Oedipus and Jocasta, who is betrothed to Creon's son.
