It is through his heritage, reputation, and role modelingthat Oedipus causes Antigone to suffer in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, disgraced Theban King Oedipus carries over to his daughter Princess Antigone the divine curse on the descendants of Kings Polydorus and Labdacus. He contributes to that curse his reputation as his father's killer and his mother's husband. Additionally, he is a negative role model in allowing himself to get out of control and in being stubborn.
