Yes, the seer wants Creon to bury Polyneices in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, the birds that he uses in ritual sacrifices and dogs are eating the flesh of the unburied dead. The non-burial is offensive to the gods, who guarantee funeral services and below-ground burial to all Thebans. Additionally, interpreting divine will through ritual sacrifices cannot be done because the birds are contaminated by eating the flesh of dead bodies. This also is offensive to the gods, so the dead bodies need to be buried in the way the gods want them to be to Teiresias' way of thinking.

How does Teiresias persuade Creon to change his mind in 'Antigone'?
Teiresias does not persuade Creon to change his mind in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Teiresias the blind prophet warns Theban King Creon that the royal household will suffer the same death and sorrow as Creon inflicts hardheartedly upon Thebes. But Creon continues to insult and threaten his sightless seer and royal councillor. It is after Teiresias leaves and the chorus leader says that Creon needs to bury Polyneices and release Antigone that Creon changes his mind.
Who persuades Creon to rescue Antigone in 'Antigone'?
The Chorus leader of the Theban Elders is the person who persuades Theban King Creon to rescue Princess Antigone in the play "Antigone" by ancient Greek playwright Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Creon hears Teiresias the blind prophet trace the unhealthy environment prevailing in Thebes to the non-burial of the corpse of Polyneices. Creon contradicts and insults Teiresias until the seer suggests that the tragedy of all Thebes will extend to the royal household. But it is after Teiresias leaves that Creon finally asks what to do. It is the Chorus leader who says that Polyneices' body needs to be given a proper Theban burial and that Antigone needs to be released from her prison.
What sentence does Creon impose on Antigone for violating Polyneices burial?
It is initially to just straight up kill Antigone. But then, upon having a meeting with the Seer, who is actually a blind man (ironic much) he decides to change her fate. He will put her in a sealed stone tomb. Therefore no blood will be on his hands when it comes to the death of Antigone. If the gods want to keep her alive, they will. And if not, they won't.

How did Creon meet his fate in Antigone?
As a result of his stubborn attitude and refusing to listen to Antigone, Haemon, and the citizens of Thebes, Creon blinds himself to the true situation. In the end, what results from this is that his son Haemon commits suicide to die along with his lover, Antigone, and his wife, Eurydice, also commits suicide. Another of his sons, Megareus, had died earlier after Creon sacrificed him to save Thebes (Tiresias the seer had told him that Thebes would guaranteed a victory against the Seven Against Thebes if Megareus was sacrificed). Cursing Creon for his stubbornness and blaming him for the death of their two sons, Eurydice stabs herself with a sword. Thus, because of Creon's own selfishness and short-sightedness, he met his fate: his entire family was killed, and a descendant of an earlier Theban king, named Lycus, kills Creon and takes the crown. In the end, Creon lost everything.

What are ten similarities between the plays 'Antigone' and 'Oedipus Rex'?
Following is a list of ten (10) similarities between the plays "Antigone" and "Oedipus Rex" by ancient Greek playwright Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.):1. The area just outside the main entrance to the royal palace of Thebes is the main setting.2. The chorus indicates that Theban King Oedipus and his daughter/half-sister Theban Princess Antigone may be victimsof a divine curse on the House of Theban King Labadacus, from whom they descend.3. The critical deeds of Oedipus and then of Antigone are motivated by passion and defended without recognition or respect for an opposing viewpoint.4. The entire environment of Thebes is polluted by disrespect to the dead - the death of Theban King Laius in "Oedipus Rex" and the non-burial of Theban Prince Polyneices - as crimes against the gods and by omission of cleansing rituals.5. The explanation for and the resolution to the environmental pollution are given by the blind prophet Teiresias.6. The fates of Oedipus as the victor over the Sphinx and of Antigone as the respecter of the old ways and the burier of her dishonored brother are consolidated by the doing of the above-mentioned great, heroic deeds: No good deed goes unpunished.7. The motives of Theban King Creon are questioned by Oedipus as his brother-in-law and co-ruler and by Antigone as his niece and intended daughter-in-law;8. The Queen of Thebes, Jocasta, is the mother of Oedipus, who becomes her second husband, and of Antigone, who thereby ends up as Oedipus' daughter and half-sister.9. The seer Teiresias is insulted and threatened - with unenviable consequences - by the reigning sovereign, with the king being Oedipus in "Oedipus Rex" and Creon in "Antigone."10. The tragedies end with the suicide of Jocasta and Antigone as the respectively main female characters in "Oedipus Rex" and "Antigone" and with the personal and professional shaming of Oedipus and Creon as the respectively main male characters in "Oedipus Rex" and "Antigone."
