That Haemon will pay for his insolence by seeing Antigone die before his eyes is the oath that Creon swears in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, Theban Prince Haemon disagrees with his father King Creon on how to rule and what to do about Princess Antigone. The disagreement heats up since Haemon loves his first cousin and bride-to-be as much as she is detested by his father. Creon reaches his limit in terms of an opposing viewpoint. He swears by heaven above that Haemon will pay for his insults and that Antigone will pay with her life

∙ 12y agoThat she will bury her brother regardless of the consequences and that those who make her suffer likewise suffer are the oaths that Antigone swears in "Antigone " by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, a royal law enforces god-given rights to below-ground burials only for Theban loyalists and denies them to Theban traitors. Theban Princess Antigone refuses to watch her brother Polyneices' body be ravaged by the weather and wildlife. She vows to bury him even though violators of the law are promised the death penalty by King Creon, her uncle and intended father-in-law. Once the deed is done and the punishment is about to be carried out, Antigone asks that her suffering be experienced in like degree by her tormentor, Creon.
