No, Creon does not have a strong case in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).

Specifically, Theban King Creon denies to his perceived enemies their god-given rights as Thebans to below ground burials. He is a hypocrite who thinks that he can respect Theban traditions that give him his throne but deny others that cause widespread suffering. Additionally, he is a usurper who conspires with his nephew Eteocles to reject the legitimate royal claim of his other nephew, Polyneices, whom he causes to have exiled and killed. Creon's case lacks merit.
