Jocasta is Ellen's sister and has loved Murtagh from afar for decades, knowing that he was always in love with another. In the final episode of season four the pair came together, uniting a couple that were never united in the books and setting the television show on a brand new path.
Jocasta Cameron: Ulysses had a romantic relationship with Jocasta for about twenty years, beginning long before her husband, Hector Cameron, had died.
Murtagh started a relationship with Jocasta Cameron, Ellen's older sister, while at the plantation in River Run. But Murtagh waited too long to profess his love for Jocasta and by the time he did, it was too late and Jocasta went ahead with her wedding with Duncan Innes as planned.
The marriage making the most sense to him, since as her husband he would have more authority at the plantation and it would put an end to any suitor's trying to take the property from Jocasta by marrying her. He had not considered that Jocasta would want an intimate relationship.
Jocasta is Jamie's maternal aunt, the younger sister of Ellen, Dougal, and Colum MacKenzie. She has been married four times: John Cameron of Erracht, Hugh Cameron of Aberfeldy, Hector Mor Cameron of Loch Eilean, and Duncan Innes.
Answer and Explanation: In Oedipus the King, Jocasta kills herself because she is ashamed for having become intimate with her son, Oedipus. Earlier in the play, she becomes aware of a prophecy that predicts she will marry her own child.
At the climax of the play, Jocasta is so overwhelmed by the horror of having had sex with her own son that she commits suicide, hanging herself over their marriage bed. This is a Sophoclean innovation; in earlier versions of the myth she either stabs herself to death or survives the shock and lives on.
Thus, when he married Jocasta, she became affected by it as her son, grew up to kill Laius and marry her. She had four children with her husband/son; Eteocles, Polynices, Antigone, and Ismene. Later, she killed herself after she discovered that the curse placed on her husband had finally come true.
Jocasta handed the newborn infant over to Laius. Jocasta or Laius pierced and pinned the infant's ankles together. Laius instructed his chief shepherd, Menoetes (not to be confused with Menoetes, the underworld spirit) a slave who had been born in the palace, to expose the infant on Mount Cithaeron and leave it to die.
Upon failing to do so, Jocasta becomes deeply sorrowful. Her lack of anger towards Oedipus for his patricide makes it clear that she holds herself and not him responsible for the tragic events in his life. This feeling of guilt culminates in Jocasta's suicide, for she has no-one left to blame but herself.
During his death scene in the books, Murtagh told Jamie at the Battle of Culloden: "Dinna be afraid, a bhalaich. It doesna hurt a bit to die." Murtagh utters these same words in America during his death scene on the Starz show, bringing the two franchises together.
Let's learn about the disease that robbed Jocasta Cameron of her eyesight: Glaucoma. Yep, that's the one. Glaucoma (glaw-koh-muh), is a word derived from the Greek glaukommatos meaning “gray-eyed.”

Publisher's Summary. Many people experience the Jocasta Complex in reference to the proverbial "mama's boy". The mother often becomes obsessed with her relationship with her son to the exclusion of many other relationships and interests. She generally only chooses a favorite son whom she puts on a pedestal.
This king claimed the boy and raised him as his own. When Oedipus grew to manhood, a prophet warned him that he would kill his father and marry his mother.
Years passed, during which Oedipus had four children with Jocasta. Oedipus found out that he killed Laius, his father, and married his mother, Jocasta. He was horrified, so he gouged his eyes out and exiled himself from Thebes.
Jocasta realizes the truth—that Oedipus is her son as well as her husband—and tells Oedipus to stop the interrogations. He doesn't listen, and an eyewitness, the Herdsman who rescued him when he was an infant, confirms that he was Laius and Jocasta's child, and that Oedipus killed Laius.
An oracle had predicted that Oedipus would kill his father and marry his mother, and as an infant he was abandoned by his birth parents, Laius and Jocasta, the rulers of Thebes, because of this curse. He was taken by a shepherd, and raised by the previously childless king and queen of Corinth, Polybus and Merope.
Jocasta solves the riddle of Oedipus's identity before Oedipus does, and she expresses her love for her son and husband in her desire to protect him from this knowledge.
