Oedipus, Laius and Jocasta are dehumanized in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, dehumanization refers to making someone seem monstrous, not even human. The description fits Theban monarchs Oedipus, Laius and Jocasta.

Jocasta and her second husband, King Oedipus, do not seem human because they commit mother-son incest.
