Who is creons father?

Answer 1

Menoeceus is the father of Theban King Creon and of Theban Queen Jocasta. So he's the father-in-law of son Creon's wife, Theban Queen Eurydice. He also is the father-in-law of daughter Jocasta's two husbands, Theban Kings Laius and Oedipus.

Menoeceus doesn't appear in 'Antigone' or in 'Oedipus Rex'. He already is dead. According to 'Seven Against Thebes', which covers events before things really fall apart personally and professionally for Oedipus, Menoeceus commits suicide by throwing himself over the high walls of Thebes. He believes a prophecy that his suicide will bring victory to Thebes. Whether or not Menoeceus has to go to such lengths, Thebes does end up the victor against Theban rebels and Argive invaders.
