How does Creon's pride pit him against Antigone in 'Antigone'?

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'?
Antigone better fits the description of a tragic hero in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, a hero is the main character and has great powers and/or does great deeds. A tragic hero experiences an unfortunate turn of events through a character flaw or a flawed act. The description fits Antigone, who does the great deed of burying her brother and who thereby meets with an early death. In contrast, Creon is just a tragic character who lacks great powers, does no great deeds and comes to an unfortunate end.
