Jocasta
An oracle came from Delphi warning him not to have a son because that son was fated to kill his own father. Laius did not heed this warning.
King Laius and Queen Jocasta abandon their child, Oedipus, because they are told a prophecy where their son is destined to kill his own father and marry his own mother.
That she's married to a man who'll be killed by their sonis the fate that Theban Queen Jocasta knows about. So she and her husband think they can avert that fate by killing their new born son. In ancient Thebes, and indeed all Greece, it's considered far worse to kill one's parents than one's children.But there's another part to that fate. Jocasta doesn't know anything about that part. But she finds out in the end. It's that she also is fated to marry her own son.
Oedipus's fate was fixed before his birth. oedipus' father king Laius abducted Chrysippus son of Pelops. So he cursed Laius to be killed by his own son and the boy would marry his own mother. pelops was the king of Pisa.
That he's fated to kill his father and marry his motheris the statement that the Delphic Oracle makes to subsequent Theban King Oedipus. The initial reason for Oedipus' visit is a rumor that he isn't the biological son of those whom he considers his parents: King Polybus and Queen Merope of Corinth. But he forgets all upon hearing such a horrendous prophecy. All he can think of is getting as far away from home without finding out whether or not it's really his home. And the irony lies in home being precisely where he runs to instead of away from.

The most traditional method by which a father legitimizes his son is to marry the son's mother. It is also possible to formally recognize the son as his own, even without marrying the son's mother.

Answer #1 Antigone's father married his own mother. Answer #2 Antigone's father was Theban King Oedipus. He was the son of Theban King Laius and Theban Queen Jocasta. It had been predicted that Laius would be killed by his own son. It also had been predicted that Jocasta would marry, and have children by, her own son. At birth, Oedipus therefore was left exposed to the weather and wild animals. But he survived, unbeknownst to his parents. As an adult, Oedipus killed a stranger, who actually was his own father. He then married the widowed Theban Queen, who actually was his own mother.
