The civil war over the Theban royal succession is the major event that both precedes and leads to the opening scene of "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, twin brothers Eteocles and Polyneices are supposed to alternate years of rule in a joint power-sharing arrangement. But Eteocles refuses to give up the crown when his year is up. He exiles Polyneices, who organizes an army of disgruntled Thebans and sympathetic Argives. Polyneices' attacking forces and Eteocles' defending forces meet on the battlefield outside Thebes. The defenders win, but the leaders of both forces kill each other during the war's final battle.

Polyneices' burial, Antigone's trial and Teiresias' prediction are three major events in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the burial of Polyneices is a major event because it activates the conflict between Theban Princess Antigone and King Creon. Antigone's trial is a second major event because it sets in motion the fatal responses of Antigone, Prince Haemon and Queen Eurydice to Antigone's live burial and suicide. Teiresias' prediction is a third major event because it starts up the process of reversing the non-burial edict and overthrowing Creon.

What is the minor conflict in 'Antigone'?
Whether or not to obey the royal edict is the minor conflict in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the phrase minor conflict describes a disagreement that does not involve both main characters but that relates to their main conflict. The description fits the opening disagreement between the Theban sister Princesses Antigone and Ismene. Antigone insists that their brother Polyneices must be buried and that the royal edict of non-burial therefore must be disobeyed. In contrast, Ismene maintains that the laws of the city must not be broken. The disagreement relates to the major conflict between the main characters, Antigone and Creon, over the ultimate authority figures in life and death.
