Yes, the unities are followed in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, the dramatic ideal is the solving of a problem presented in one place during one 24-hour period. The description fits the play "Antigone." It deals with the problem of which of two conflicting laws to obey and resolves it in front of the main entrance of the Theban royal palace the day after the end of the recent civil war over the royal succession.
The Tempest and The Comedy of Errors both observe the unities.
One day is the time that is covered in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the dramatist observes the three unities in ancient Greek drama. That means that the action takes place in one set location over one set time period. The events must begin and end within a day.
One day is the time span in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the three unities were the dramatic ideal in ancient Greek plays.

He vaguely mentions that the death of Antigone will lead to the death of another. [Meaning his father.] This threat is followed through with, but not in the intended manner. When Creon goes to release Antigone from her living grave, Haemon is inside grieving Antigone's suicide. When he tries to kill his father (as he intended), his sword misses his father & he turns on it himself. [Still seeing that the threat is completed.]

Theban Princess Antigone dies on the very day that she is told that she is going to be stoned to death in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the play adheres to the three unities in ancient Greek theater. It therefore has all action take place in one onstage location within the course of one day. It is therefore in just one day's time that Antigone learns that she is sentenced to death, first by stoning and ultimately by live burial and starvation.

It is by having one time, place and action that the three unities are followed in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the action needs to present and solve one problem regarding the main character. The place must be the same for all onstage action even though previous and offstage places may be introduced through the commentary of the chorus, the conversations of the characters or the pronouncements of messengers or servants. The time has to be within one day.
One day is the duration of the events in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the play respects the three unities of time, place and action in ancient Greek drama.

A royal edict of non-burial of the disloyal Theban deadis the law that Antigone breaks in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone's brother Eteocles finds his god-given rights to a below-ground burial and proper funeral rites honored by his uncle King Creon's recent edict. But her brother Polyneices' rights are denied, and his body is left above ground and exposed to weather and wildlife. Antigone accepts that proper procedure is followed regarding Eteocles, but not in regard to Polyneices.
If Antigone disobeys Creon's Law in "Antigone," Antigone is to be sentenced to death.
Momentary disbelief followed by stubborn hostility is the way Creon reacts to Antigone's crime in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Creon expects to be interrogating and sentencing a hired thug of one of his enemies. He fumbles with words when he sees Princess Antigone, whom he considers a lifelong fool. He takes badly and personally that his niece boasts about breaking his law and makes no attempt for extenuating circumstances, pardon or sympathy.
