Disclaimer: Rome isn't mine and the story isn't written for profit.
The day she was wed, Jocasta saw a funeral pyre in her husband.
He was charming, yes, but she couldn't help but notice his wrinkles and grey hair, and she had never dreamed of marrying a former slave. But he was her destiny, and with resignation, she accepted him.
Yet somehow, she grew fond of him. He wasn't entirely unpleasant in her eyes, and eventually she longed to have him close. His worship of her wasn't of a goddess, but of a beloved wife, and in the end, she began to see a shape of a man in the pyre.
