Killing himself is how Haemon dies in 'Oedipus Rex'. He turns his own sword on himself after trying unsuccessfully to kill his father, Theban King Creon. He dies holding onto the corpse of Antigone, the cousin and fiancee who hangs herself instead of execution by being walled up in a remote cave.
That that never will happen is Haemon's response when Creon says he will see Antigone die in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Prince Haemon says that he will not stand by and see Princess Antigone killed. He promises that this is the last that Creon, his father and Antigone's intended father-in-law, will see of him. He then goes running out.
Theban King Creon was the brother of Queen Jocasta. He was the father of Haemon. Jocasta was the mother of Antigone. So Creon was Antigone's uncle, and Jocasta Haemon's aunt. That made the betrothed couple Antigone and Haemon first cousins.
Yes, Haimon does die. He stabs himself after Antigone hangs herself. He is found in a pool of his own blood in Antigone's tomb.
That he wants his father to change his mind about Antigone is the reason why Haemon says not to be unchangeable in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Prince Haemon is engaged to his beloved first cousin, Princess Antigone. Antigone is sentenced to die by her own uncle, King Creon. Haemon loves his bride-to-be. He makes an effort to get his father to annul the edict of non-burial of the disloyal Theban dead and to pardon Antigone for breaking that edict in burying her brother Polyneices.
That Antigone's death will bring about another'sdeath and that father and son never will see each other again are the threats made by Haemon in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Creon says that Princess Antigone will be executed. Prince Haemon, Antigone's betrothed, makes an effort to get Creon to change his mind. Creon does not understand that Haemon is foreshadowing his own death in saying that someone will die as a result of Antigone's death and that he never plans to be in his father's company ever again.
Creon is Haemon's father and Antigone is Haemon's forbideddn love.

Haemon and Creon are both characters in Antigone by Sophocles. Haemon visits his father, Creon, to tell him not to kill Antigone.
Haemon is Antigone's love in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone is engaged to her first cousin, Prince Haemon. She never makes any reference to him by name. In contrast, Haemon speaks constantly about his betrothed. Additionally, Princess Ismene, Antigone's sister, talks of the great love that Antigone has for Haemon and vice versa.

Great is supposed to be the love between Antigone and Haemon in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.). Specifically, Theban Princess Ismene claims that her sister Antigone and Prince Haemon share a great love. Antigone and her first cousin commit to marriage through a betrothal that is in effect before the play begins. Haemon speaks volumes about Antigone, who never mentions her betrothed.
Haemon and Eurydice die after Antigone dies in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone hangs herself in the walled-up cave to which she is sentenced to be buried alive. Prince Haemon, her first cousin and groom-to-be, stabs himself with his own sword when he finds Antigone's dead body. Queen Eurydice, Haemon's mother and Antigone's intended mother-in-law, stabs herself with a knife when she hears of the two suicides.
Yes.
Angrily, insensitively and insultingly is the way in which Creon reacts to Haemon defending Antigone in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Prince Haemon is first cousin and husband-to-be of Princess Antigone. Haemon's father, King Creon, issues a law that Antigone breaks and for which the sentence is death. Haemon loves Antigone and unsuccessful tries to save her. It is a lost cause since Creon thinks one woman is like any other and therefore completely replaceable.
