Jocasta
He puts out his own eyes.
Oedipus, Jocasta, Teiresias, and Creon are the main characters in 'Oedipus Rex'. Theban King Oedipus is the husband and son of Theban Queen Jocasta. Subsequent Theban King Creon is Jocasta's brother, and the brother-in-law and uncle of Oedipus. Teiresias is a blind prophet.
No, Jocasta is not wiser than Oedipus in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, neither Theban Queen Jocasta nor King Oedipus is wise. Jocasta just knows when to keep quiet and to stop a fight from beginning or escalating. Otherwise, she tends towards avoidance and escapism whereas Oedipus is confrontational and reactive.
That father and son are nowhere near each other at the time of the latter's death is the way in which Jocasta reasons with Oedipus that he cannot be guilty of his father's death in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Queen Jocasta points out that King Polybus is home in Corinth and that Oedipus is at home in Thebes. Polybus dies from illness and old age, not from murder. Oedipus therefore cannot be said to have anything to do with his presumed father's death to Jocasta's way of thinking.
But Oedipus is not alone in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Oedipus is married with children. His wife is Queen Jocasta. King Laius is Jocasta's first husband.
As father to son is the way in which Laius is related to Oedipus in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Laius is married just once before he dies. His wife is Queen Jocasta. The royal couple's only child is Oedipus.
