Best Answer

It is in the male dominated authority that patriarchy plays a role in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).

Specifically, Theban King Creon appears to rule alone. He has a wife, Queen Eurydice. But it is clear that she has no influence or input. In fact, Creon makes it clear that he disdains women as good for nothing but having children.
