That he issues and enforces a controversial law is the reason why Creon is to blame for the outcome in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).

Specifically, the events happen the day after the end of the first civil war over the Theban royal succession. Theban King Creon hinders instead of helps healing by denying to the disloyal Theban dead their god-given rights as Thebans to below ground burials. His policy impels his niece Princess Antigone to break the law, bury her brother Polyneices, get the death penalty and hang herself. It also is the cause of environmental pollution and irritable gods over unburied bodies as well as two more suicides.
