Exile is the punishment of Theban King Oedipus for killing Theban King Laius. The oracle at Apollo's shrine tells Theban King Creon that the murderer or murderers of Laius must be identified and punished with execution or exile. The choice of the punishment is up to Creon, Oedipus' brother-in-law and uncle. Oedipus asks for exile, and Creon decides to honor that request, and Oedipus' request for protection to his two daughters, Antigone and Ismene.

Ismene doesn't wasnt her sister, Antigone, to bury POlyneices because she fears for her sister's life. Creon proclaimed that whomever might bury Polyneices would be publically stoned to death.
No, Creon does not die in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the play ends with Theban King Creon being led away from his people and into the Theban royal palace recesses. Creon is sputtering about his punishment. He is told that there are more pressing matters to attend to at this moment than that.
she gets sentenced to death and gets put into a dungeon and is left there to die.

Foreshadowing
Stoning is the punishment for violation of Creon's law in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Creon comes up with his own law regarding burials in Thebes. He makes below ground burial the privilege of Theban loyalists instead of the god-given that it is for all Thebans. He thinks that he will ensure compliance with his law by enforcing the punishment of death under a showed of heavy, sharp rocks thrown by fellow Thebans.
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.
