In the play 'Antigone', Theban King Oedipus is the husband and son of Queen Jocasta, who is the sister of subsequent Theban King Creon. He also is the son of Theban King Laius, whom he kills and succeeds to the throne of Thebes. He therefore is the descendant of Cadmus, the founder and first King of Thebes; and of Poseidon the sea god. Through his marriage, King Oedipus becomes the father of Antigone, Ismene, and the twins Eteocles and Polyneices. But he also is brother to his children, whose mother is his mother and his wife. The knowledge of his incest with his mother and of his murder of his father swiftly is followed by his loss of his kingdom, his sight, and his wife.
