It is to Creon that Oedipus gives his children in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, disgraced Theban King Creon faces either execution or exile as punishment for his criminal acts and immoral behavior. He is worried about the loneliness, poverty and shunning that his daughters, the sister Princesses Antigone and Ismene, will face without a guardian. He requests that his brother-in-law and royal successor Creon take on that guiding, protective role.
