Jocasta is Oedipus' mother in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, Jocasta is queen of Thebes and widow of Theban King Laius when Oedipus meets her. She and her first husband both descend from Cadmus, Thebes' founder and first king, but by different grandchildren of Cadmus. They therefore are also cousins, but the relationship is nowhere near as close as that between her and her second husband and son, Oedipus.
