No, Theban King Creon isn't Theban King Laius' brother. Instead, he's his brother-in-law. Laius' wife, Theban Queen Jocasta, is Creon's sister.
Theban King Oedipus has no sister-in-law. Theban Queen Jocasta, mother and wife to Oedipus, has only one sibling: her brother, Theban King Creon. Creon's wife, Theban Queen Eurydice, is Jocasta's sister-in-law. But to Oedipus, she's no more and no less than the wife of Creon, uncle and brother-in-law to Oedipus.
Niece to uncle is Antigone's relationship to Creon in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone is the eldest daughter of disgraced Theban monarchs Oedipus and Jocasta. Queen Jocasta is Creon's sister. Antigone therefore is Creon's niece.
It is the relationship of niece to uncle that is revealed in the scene between Antigone and Creon in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Creon calls Princess Antigone his closest living blood relative. He describes her as his sister's child. But it is not until Ismene, Antigone's sister and Creon's niece, shows up that Antigone also is identified as Creon's intended daughter-in-law engaged to his only surviving son and heir apparent, Prince Haemon.
Creon is the brother in law of Laius by the sister of Creon and wife of Laius, Jocasta.

Creon's wife, Theban Queen Eurydice, is Jocasta's sister-in-law. But to Oedipus, she's no more and no less than the wife of Creon, uncle and brother-in-law to Oedipus.
That means "They think your sister is hot."

That her sister and Creon's son are deeply in love is what Ismene argues to try to convince Creon not to kill her in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Ismene does not want to see her sister, Princess Antigone, die. She identifies the great love between Antigone and Prince Haemon, Creon's sole surviving child and heir. She mentions this in the hope that the engagement and impending marriage of the two first cousins will convince her uncle not to execute Antigone.
Haemon is engaged to Antigone. The two are first cousins. Haemon's father is Theban King Creon. Antigone's mother is Theban Queen Jocasta. Creon and Jocasta are brother and sister.
That he believes in her innocence is the reason why Creon does not have Ismene killed in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Creon reluctantly has his niece, Princess Ismene, arrested for helping her sister, Princess Antigone, bury their brother Polyneices. Creon hesitates since he considers Ismene as never being any other than wise. But he misinterprets a time when he sees out of control. Under the influence of the chorus leader, he reverses his decision regarding her, but not her sister.
No, Ismene and Creon are not lovers in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Ismene is the youngest daughter of disgraced Theban monarchs Oedipus and Jocasta. Queen Jocasta is the sister of Creon, King Oedipus' royal successor. Ismene and Creon therefore relate to each other as niece to uncle.
