Yes, it can be argued that Theban King Creon isn't an Aristotelian tragic hero. According to Aristotle [384 B.C.E.* - 322 B.C.E.], the tragic hero is a good person who does great things. But he loses everything due to his own tragic flaw. He also realizes his role in foredooming his own tragedy. It's true that Creon loses everything through his tragic flaw of pride. But he isn't a good person, and doesn't do great things. Instead, he's a selfishperson who does villainous things. For example, he refuses to honor the god given rights of his own citizens. Likewise does he remain unmoved by the suffering of his entire city. Creon ends his heartless, ruthless rule only when he sees that bad thingswill happen to him and his family. So he reverses his position only when he and his family are to be included in the suffering. He doesn't reverse his position because of his own self-awareness and self-knowledge. *Before the Christian Era

How is Antigone a tragic hero?
Antigone herself is not the tragic hero of Antigone. The tragic hero of Antigone is Creon. Creon is a well-intentioned king, that comes from royal blood, but he brings his death upon himself with his tragic flaw. His flaw was that he paid more attention to the laws of man and easily forgot about the power of the gods. After everyone that he loves dies, Antigone (his niece), Haimon (his son), and Eurydice (his wife), he becomes a better person and changes his views. However, it is too late for Creon by the end of the tragedy, and he is too weighed-down by his own guilt. He chooses to die.
