Antigone and Ismene are Jocasta's daughters in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, Theban Princesses Antigone and Ismene are Queen Jocasta's daughters with her second husband, King Oedipus. Unbeknownst to them at the time of their marriage, Oedipus and Jocasta also are son and mother. Consequently, the princesses' father also is their half-brother and that their mother also is their maternal grandmother.
