Her husband, King Laius of Thebes, consulted an oracle when she was pregnant with her first child, Oedipus. The oracle told Laius that the child was destined to kill his father and marry his own mother. Laius had the baby left on a mountain to die after piercing his ankle. He was found by a shepherd and given to King Polybus and Queen Merope of Corinth.

When this was discovered, not able to bear the truth, Jocasta committed suicide by hanging herself and Oedipus stabbed out his own eyes with Jocasta’s brooch.
