Who is Jocasta's first husband in 'Oedipus Rex'?
Laius is Jocasta's first husband in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Queen Jocasta is married two times. Her first husband is her cousin, King Laius. Not too long after Laius is killed, Jocasta marries her second husband, Oedipus, who unbeknownst to the two also is her cousin and her son.
Why is Oedipus cursed in 'Oedipus Rex'?
That he is the latest descendant of a line cursed by the gods is the reason why Oedipus is cursed in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Oedipus is Laius' son, Labdacus' grandson, and Polydorus' great-grandson. Oedipus therefore inherits the divine ill will against Polydorus as well as the curse on all his descendants made by Dionysos, the wine god and Polydorus' first cousin. The gods do not back off from their anger against one individual until they ruin the entire line of descent.
What is Jocasta's relation to Oedipus in 'Oedipus Rex'?
Mother and cousin are the ways in which Jocasta is related to Oedipus in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban monarchs Jocasta and Oedipus are a married couple who albeit unknowingly are blood relatives. Both are the great-great grandchildren of Cadmus, Thebes' founding king. They are also cousins: Oedipus is the great-grandson of Polydorus, the brother of Jocasta's great-grandmother Agave. But it is the mother-son relationship, not the first cousinship, that makes their marriage a horrible surprise to them and a great offense to the gods and mortals.
What makes Oedipus tragic hero?

Is Polybus Creon's brother in 'Oedipus Rex'?
No, Polybus is not Creon's brother in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. -- 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Polybus is the King of Corinth and the foster father, not the biological father, of Theban King Oedipus. Oedipus is the nephew and cousin of Theban King Creon. Oedipus is heir to the Corinthian throne, which he nevertheless does not claim. If he had, the royal lines of Thebes and Corinth would be related through Oedipus' descendants.
