That a king needs to rule alone is what Creon thinks that a king should do in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, Theban King Creon likes having the royal powers all to himself. He does not think that he needs to seek second opinions on anything. In fact, he believes that it is a sign of weakness to look anywhere but to oneself when ruling Thebes.

Bury Polyneices and release Antigone is what the chorus thinks that Creon should do in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the chorus cannot interact directly with any of the onstage characters. But its leader can do so. The chorus leader in fact asks Theban King Creon to bury the exposed body of Polyneices and to free Princess Antigone from her walled up cave.
The sentry captured Antigone burying Polyneices and brought her to Creon
Guardian to ward, king to subject and uncle to niece is the way in which Creon is related to Antigone in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Creon has custody of his niece, the orphan Princess Antigone. He also is the father of Antigone's husband-to-be, her first cousin Prince Haemon. Additionally, he is Antigone's sovereign.
Theban King Creon is mortal. So, yes, he does die. It just doesn't happen in the play 'Antigone'.

The interactions of Antigone with Creon and Ismene as well as that of Haemon with Creon are examples of gender conflict in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the phrase gender conflict describes disagreement or discord based on or involving the roles of men and women. The description fits Antigone's interactions with Princess Ismene and King Creon as well as Prince Haemon's interaction with Creon. Creon and his niece Ismene think that Antigone's gender is the starting point for not doing what she dares to do whereas Antigone and her husband-to-be Haemon disagree.
He said he did'nt want to be king. :)
Sentence her to death is what Creon does to Antigone in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone deliberately breaks a royal edict recently issued by King Creon, her uncle and intended father-in-law. Creon tends to have a negative attitude towards women in general and towards Antigone in particular. Nevertheless, Antigone does nothing to try to get Creon to pardon her or give her a sentence other than death.
he should never punish antigone 4 what she should of done she wanted to burrey her brother
Haemon is engaged to Antigone. The two are first cousins. Haemon's father is Theban King Creon. Antigone's mother is Theban Queen Jocasta. Creon and Jocasta are brother and sister.
Theban is Creon's nationality in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Creon is king of Thebes. He is a Theban born and bred. In fact, he is a direct paternal descendant of Cadmus, Thebes' founder and first king.
Haemon tells King Creon to forgive Antigone of her illegal acts. He is "engaged" to Antigone and believes that she is just trying to honor her brother.
