Oedipus the King What does Oedipus do when he see Jocasta hanging herself? Asked by bookragstutor on 28 Nov 08:47 Last updated by Jill W on 30 Aug 14:05
Oedipus cut down Jocasta's body and lay her on the ground. He took the golden brooches from her robes and stabbed out his own eyes with them, so that he could no longer see suffering. Oedipus has vowed to banish himself from Thebes.
