That his name is Oedipus is what Greeks know about Antigone's father in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).

Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone is the heroic main character of the above mentioned played. But characters make references to her father. They try to avoid being precise because of King Oedipus' criminal act of killing his own father and sovereign and his immoral behavior in marrying and having children with his own mother.

How is Antigone family oriented in 'Antigone'?

That she lets her sister know what is going on and that she risks her life for a dead family member are the ways in which Antigone is family oriented in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone cares about her very different sister Princess Ismene.

What is Haemon's attitude towards Creon in 'Antigone'?

Respectful in the beginning, then disappointed and finally angry and alienated are Haemon's attitudes towards Creon in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Prince Haemon tries to show respect to King Creon, his father and his sovereign. But Creon is not strong on people skills and quickly disappoints the son that he appears not to know at all well. Haemon quickly ends up so furious that he tries and fails to kill his own father but succeeds in killing himself. The alienation and the break are complete between father and son.
