No, Ismene and Creon are not lovers in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, Theban Princess Ismene is the youngest daughter of disgraced Theban monarchs Oedipus and Jocasta. Queen Jocasta is the sister of Creon, King Oedipus' royal successor. Ismene and Creon therefore relate to each other as niece to uncle.
