Women and his perceived enemies have the least value for Creon in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).

Specifically, Theban King Creon values loyalty and male dominance. He shows his disdain for disloyalty by denying to his perceived enemies god-given rights of all Thebans to below ground burials. He manifests his disdain for women by characterizing them as replaceable and thereby denying each woman her individual femininity.
