Yes, Creon still lives at the end of "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, all that the audience knows is that Theban King Creon loses everything that gives meaning to his life: reputation, job, home, and family. He therefore welcomes death, but does not find it during the confines of the play. There are subsequent variant versions such as Creon being murdered, but Sophocles does not include any final information about Creon in any of his three surviving plays about King Oedipus and his family.
