Jocasta is the Roman name of the Queen in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Jocasta is the ancient Latin form of an ancient Greek name. The original form in ancient Greek is Iοκαστη. The way in which the original Greek name literally is written with letters from the Latin alphabet is "Iokasti." But the forms Epikastê and Iokastê also are found in "The Iliad" by Homer (fl. 8th century B.C.E.).
The permanently swollen nature of his feet is what gives Oedipus his name in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, a rod is run through Oedipus' ankles when he is just three days old. The rod subsequently is removed, but leaves aftereffects. Permanently swollen feet and shuffling gait are among the consequences, of which the former is the actual meaning of the name Oedipus.
