That he bends to no one, not even the gods, is the way in which Creon's pride pits him against Antigone in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, the term pride describes a sense of one's own worth that may be justified in terms of achievements but inflated in terms of one's role. The description fits Theban King Creon who considers himself the ultimate authority in Thebes. This puts on a collision course with his niece, Princess Antigone, who believes that divine will, family ties and Theban traditions always take precedence.

Is it Antigone or Creon who better fits the definition of a tragic hero in 'Antigone'?
Well, honey, let me break it down for you. Technically, both Antigone and Creon can be considered tragic heroes in their own right. Antigone fits the classic definition more because she's the one who faces adversity due to her principles and suffers the consequences. Creon, on the other hand, is a tragic figure because of his pride and stubbornness leading to his downfall. So, take your pick, they both bring the drama.
