Antigone has no younger brother in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).

Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone has one sister and twin brothers. The twin brothers, Eteocles and Polyneices, are older than she. Her sister, Ismene, is younger. Both her parents, disgraced Theban monarchs Oedipus and Jocasta, are dead so there will be no more siblings other than what she already has.
