In the play 'Antigone', Haemon tends to accept the authority of his father, Theban King Creon. In fact, he starts out saying, 'Father, I am thine; and thou, in thy wisdom, tracest for me rules which I shall follow. No marriage shall be deeemd by me a greater gain than thy good guidance'. But he counsels caution in the face of public opinion, and of genuine love for his first cousin and fiancee, Antigone. In fact, he responds to his father's question 'Am I to rule this land by other judgment than mine own?' with 'That is no city, which belongs to one man'. And of his fiancee, he says, 'No, not at my side - never think it - shall she perish' nor shalt thou ever set eyes more upon my face: - rave, then, with such friends as can endure thee'. As with Antigone, therefore, Haemon ultimately appears to believe in the authority of god-given justice and traditions by which Thebans live and die.

Whom does Creon believe buries Polyneices in 'Antigone'?
That it is hired needy thugs whom Creon believes bury Polyneices in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Creon hears about the forbidden burial of his nephew Polyneices' body. He immediately is suspicious that people who need money are the culprits. He thinks that his powerful but cowardly enemies are hiring financially strapped underlings to undermine royal authority by disobeying the edict of non-burial of the disloyal Theban dead.
What is the nature of the conflict between Creon and Antigone?
Authority is the nature of the conflict between Theban King Creon and his niece and future daughter-in-law, Antigone. Antigone believes that the will of the gods must be honored and obeyed. That respect to divine authority must be shown and carried out even when contradicted by the authority of high standing mortals. In contrast, Creon believes that the will of the gods can be reinterpreted and changed by powerful mortals, such as himself.So it comes down to whom does the citizen obey in a pinch? Is it the gods whose existence is a question of faith? Or is it mortals whose existence is in the here and now?
How many people died at Antigone?
In the beginning of the Antigone play there are the two brothers that died in battle against one another. Polyneices and Eteocles whom are the brothers of Antigone and Ismene. Towards the end of the play Antigone commits suicide by hanging herself with her halter after being isolated in a chamber by Creon (her uncle i think). After seeing Antigone dead, Haemon (Haimon - who loves Antigone) commits suicide by stabbing himself in the side with his own sword. Once the messenger spreads the word of Haemon's death his mother, Eurydice, commits suicide while cursing her husband Creon's name. I believe she stabbed herself in the heart. Ismene should still be alive at the end of the play all though they do not really say if she is or not. -Five people total die in Antigone that I know of.
What is the conflict between Antigone and Ismene in 'Antigone'?
Whom to obey is the conflict between Antigone and Ismene in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone considers divine will the ultimate in law and the gods the ultimate in authority figures. In contrast, her sister Princess Ismene looks to the more immediate authority of their uncle King Creon and his laws. She understandably shudders at the thought of confronting her daunting uncle and his equally daunting death sentences to violators of his laws.
