No, Ismene doesn't help her sister Antigone. In the beginning of the play 'Antigone', she refuses to help her sister bury their brother Polyneices. He's considered a disloyal, dead Theban for having sided with the Argive invaders against his twin brother, Eteocles. Ismene's uncle, Theban King Creon, approves Eteocles' burial, but denies the same god-given right to Polyneices. Ismene refuses to go against the sovereign. Later, Antigone is arrested while burying Polyneices a second time. Ismene says that she supports her sister, and if need be offers to die with Antigone. But it's questionable how helpful Ismene is at that point. For she ends up saving her own life, and not stopping or mitigating her sister's sentence to a cruel death.
