Ismene and Antigone are the daughters of Oedipus and Jocasta, the tragic figures from Greek mythology. Oedipus unknowingly killed his father, Laius, and married his mother, Jocasta, leading to a series of tragic events. Upon discovering the truth of their relationship, Jocasta took her own life, and Oedipus, consumed by grief and guilt, blinded himself and eventually died in exile. This dark lineage profoundly impacts the lives and choices of both Ismene and Antigone throughout the story.
