Best Answer

Theban King Oedipus relates to Antigone as father to daughter. He also relates to her as half brother to half sister, because they share Theban Queen Jocasta as their mother. He relates to her too, as sovereign to subject. And in the end, he relates to her as blind beggar to guide and companion in exile.

According to ^^, is it safe to assume that the book written by Sophcles called Antigone is about Oedipus' daughter, during the same period as Oedipus lived/blinded himself.
