What crime has polyneices committed according to Creon?

According to Creon in Sophocles' "Antigone," Polyneices committed the crime of treason by leading an attack against Thebes. He is deemed a traitor for attempting to overthrow the city and is denied a proper burial as punishment for his actions. Creon views his refusal to honor Polyneices as a necessary stance to uphold law and order in Thebes.

How does Ismene react to what Antigone wants to do with Polyneices?

Ismene reacts with fear. She wants Polyneices to be given an honorable burial as much as Antigone does, but she is far too terrified to do it herself because of the death penalty that Creon has imposed for anyone who attempts to bury Polyneices. Out of fear, she refuses to help Antigone bury Polyneices. However, later on, she attempts to die alongside her sister for the crime that Antigone committed by herself.

What crime has polyneices committed in the opinion of the king?

Well in Creon's speech, he spoke about man, and that his true colors come out when he has to show his skills in law. Now I'm pretty sure that he is referencing to Polyneices here. He then spoke that if he rules by making the people fear him and doesn't speak to his people then he is a horrible ruler. He might have been speaking about Polyneices there. But, he also spoke of Polyneices more directly, saying that "he sought to burn with fire from top to bottom his native city, and the gods of his own people; who sought to taste the blood he shared with us, and lead the rest of us to slavery." Now in English, Creon didn't want Polyneices to be buried properly because he thought that he was trying to lead Thebes to crumble in war, and leave the rest of the people there to become slaves. Hope that helps:)


What does Teiresias predict for Creon what was creons crime?

Teiresias predicts that Creon will face severe consequences for his actions, specifically that he will suffer personal loss and the wrath of the gods due to his pride and stubbornness. Creon's crime is his decision to bury Polyneices, who fought against Thebes, while denying the same for his brother Eteocles, thus disrespecting the divine laws and the dead. This act of hubris leads to a tragic downfall, as Teiresias warns him that his refusal to heed the will of the gods will bring about his own ruin.
