| | Jocasta - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | In Greek mythology, Jocasta, also Iocaste (Iοκαστη) or Epikastê, was a daughter of Menocenes, Queen of Thebes, who unwittingly married Oedipus, her own son. | | | However, in the Phoenician Women by Euripides, Jocasta doesn't commit suicide until she witnesses the death of her sons Eteocles and Polynices who have slain each other in a battle for Thebes. | | | Later, Oedipus killed Laius, not knowing who he was, and married Jocasta, not knowing who she was. |

| | It is Jocasta, his own mother and wife, that brings the story full circle by again cursing him, perpetuating a disbelief in the gods. | | | While her faith remains strong, her task from the gods is to test the faiths of others, especially that of Oedipus, which she does. | | | Throughout the play, Jocasta tested the beliefs of those around her by feigning disbelief in the gods herself. |

| | Jocasta's Secret |
| | Jocasta presented Oedipus to a shepherd to be abandoned on Mount Cithaeron, his feet speared with a skewer and bound (New 387). | | | Feigning religious devotion, Jocasta strives to prove that Oedipus’ fears are unfounded but as he persists, she knows what the awful truth is; she is the one who quickly sent Laius’ servant far away years ago when he returned to Thebes and saw Oedipus on the old kings throne (Sophocles 433). | | | Poor Jocasta’s shame begins the day she must marry Laius, the abductor and molester of Crysippus according to John Porter in Sophocles' Oedipus. |

| | Jocasta comes in, having visited the local shrines and left little offerings, and asks people to join her in praying for the distraught Oedipus. | | | He says "Lucky Jocasta, you lucky wife!" (Actually, "Blessed is your marriage bed!" Irony.) The king of Corinth has died, and the Corinthians have chosen Oedipus to be their new king. | | | The Chorus says it agrees, and tells Jocasta that both men are at fault. |

| | Oedipus, University of Saskatchewan |
| | Oedipus was the son of Laius, king of Thebes, and his wife Jocasta. | | | When the couple were unable to have children, Laius consulted the oracle at Delphi, only to be informed that Jocasta would bear him a son who would grow up to kill his father and marry his mother. | | | In the central scenes of the play both Oedipus and Jocasta begin to cast doubt upon various traditional ways of reading the gods' will, and at the news of Polybus' death (941ff.) both of them joyously proclaim the folly of human attempts at divination (review The World of Athens 2.19-20). |

| | Oedipus Tyrannus |
| | A messenger from Corinth arrives and announces that Polybus is dead of natural causes; Oedipus and Jocasta gleefully accept this as evidence that the oracle which said Oedipus would kill his father was false (910-975). | | | The chorus sings a short hymn to Mt. Cithaeron and Apollo, and speculates that Oedipus may be the son of some mountain nymph (1074-1109). | | | Overhearing the exchange, the messenger reveals that Oedipus is not the son of Polybus; he himself gave Oedipus, who had been exposed as a baby on Mt. Cithaeron, to Polybus. |

| | Jocasta is also a strikingly effective contemplation of an older world order where the human mind is still struggling to understand itself and the nature of the world around it; for in Jocasta’s world the human mind is on the cusp of completing its emergence from the slumber of precivilisation to that of modernity. | | | In Jocasta, Brian Aldiss brings vividly to life the ancient world of dreaming Thebes: a world of sun-drenched landscapes, golden dust, sphynxes, Furies, hermaphroditic philosophers, ghostly apparitions and ambivalent gods. | | | The tragedy of Oedipus is precipitated by his unwitting marriage to his mother, Jocasta. |
