Oedipus marries Jocasta.
Yes, Theban King Oedipus marries his own mother in the play "Oedipus Rex."Specifically, Oedipus is the son of Theban monarchs Laius and Jocasta. Oedipus grows up thinking that his foster parents, King Polybus and Queen Merope of Corinth, are his biological parents. As an adult, he leaves Corinth, kills an arrogant elderly man on the way to Thebes and marries the King's widow ... his own mother Jocasta.
Creon is Oedipus's uncle, since he is Jocasta's (Oedipus's mother) brother. I guess Creon is also is brother-in-law, since he marries Jocasta.

Oedipus flees Corinth, kills five men, frees Thebes from the Sphinx and marries Jocasta is the sequence of events from first to last in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Oedipus runs away from Corinth to Delphi. On the way to Thebes, he kills five men: one older, arrogant stranger and four of his five-member escort party. Once at Thebes, Oedipus frees the city from the monstrous Sphinx and thereby wins the reward of marrying the city's beautiful, grieving widowed Queen Jocasta.
Antigone's father/brother is Oedipus. (Oedipus marries his mother, Jocasta and Antigone is their child.)

I think Iocaste is Jocasta. If so, Iocaste marries Oedipus... Im not sure though.
Jocasta is the widowed queen whom Oedipus marries in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Jocasta is the widow of her first husband, murdered Theban King Laius. She has a second chance at happiness when Oedipus defeats the Sphinx, Thebes' latest terror, and is offered as a reward marriage with Jocasta and a job as king of Thebes. Jocasta considers herself blessed since she has no known surviving children from her first marriage. This second marriage allows Jocasta another chance at professional success, personal happiness and family life. She accepts.
No, Creon is not Oedipus' son in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Creon is Oedipus' uncle, brother-in-law, royal colleague and ultimately royal successor. Shortly after Oedipus' arrival in Thebes, he marries widowed Theban Queen Jocasta, Creon's sister. But Oedipus does not know that he actually is Jocasta's son and therefore Creon's nephew. Creon becomes Oedipus' royal successor once Jocasta's and Oedipus' incest and Oedipus' murder of his own father become known.
