Yes, Theban King Oedipus kills his father and marries his mother. He does both deeds unknowingly. While running away from home, he responds in kind to the violence of a stranger over the right of way at a crossroads. That stranger is old enough to be Oedipus' father, and they resemble each other. Oedipus then goes on to Thebes, where Theban Queen Jocasta is a recent widow. She's old enough to be his mother, and they may or may not resemble each other in some feature or quirk of personality or character.
As it turns out, the stranger is Oedipus' father, Theban King Laius. Jocasta is Laius' widow and mother of his only child. So she's Oedipus' mother.
