Who is Oedipus's wife and mother?

Oedipus's wife and mother is Jocasta. In the tragic narrative of "Oedipus Rex," Jocasta is a central figure closely entwined in the themes of fate and identity. She is married to Oedipus, who, unbeknownst to him, fulfills a prophecy that he would kill his father and marry his mother. This tragic irony is a crucial element of the story, highlighting the inescapability of fate. Jocasta’s dual role as both mother and wife adds to the complexities of the plot and amplifies the tragic consequences of ignorance and revelation in the play.

The other characters do not encompass the same relationship with Oedipus. Choragos serves as the leader of the Chorus and does not have a personal relationship with him. Antigone and Ismene are his daughters, born from his union with Jocasta, further complicating the themes of familial ties and tragic fate.
