What does Creon command the chorus leader in 'Antigone'?
To support his edict is what Creon commands the chorus leader in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Creon announces his edict of non-burial of the disloyal Theban dead. The leader of the chorus of Theban elders comments that Creon may do as he wishes as king of Thebes. Creon then in essence directs the leader to make sure that the edict is defended, protected and supported.
Does Haemon wound Creon by stabbing him?
No. He lunges at Creon, misses, and stabs himself to be dead with Antigone.
How does the chorus leader react to Creon's decree in 'Antigone'?
That kings do what they must is the way in which the chorus leader reacts to Creon's decree in Oedipus Rex by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the chorus leader is one of Thebes' most accomplished, respected and senior citizens. He therefore starts from a position of support for Theban King Creon. So he validates what Creon says and does ... in the beginning.
What decision does the chorus leader persuade Oedipus to make regarding Creon in 'Oedipus Rex'?
To let him go is the decision that the chorus leader persuades Oedipus to made regarding Creon in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Oedipus accuses his brother-in-law and royal colleague Creon of conspiring with Teiresias the blind prophet to grab all royal powers for themselves. Creon attempts to defend himself and even asks for the gods to punish him on the spot if he is lying in his defense. But Oedipus refuses to budge from his desire to have Creon executed until the chorus leader succeeds in getting Oedipus to let things drop.
Who do you think is the better leader Oedipus or Creon?
I personally think that Oedipus is a better leader because he was willing to exile himself to protect Thebes from the plague. Also, in Oedipus Rex, Creon discusses with Oedipus that he does not want to be king because he didn't want that responsibility; as long as Oedipus was king, he had all the privileges of royalty without having to worry about the politics of it.
