No, Creon is not Oedipus' son in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Creon is Oedipus' uncle, brother-in-law, royal colleague and ultimately royal successor. Shortly after Oedipus' arrival in Thebes, he marries widowed Theban Queen Jocasta, Creon's sister. But Oedipus does not know that he actually is Jocasta's son and therefore Creon's nephew. Creon becomes Oedipus' royal successor once Jocasta's and Oedipus' incest and Oedipus' murder of his own father become known.
That he will live out his life away from human contact is what Oedipus says he will do now that the truth is known in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Oedipus learns that the truth of his identity and existence is that of one who kills his father, marries his mother, and fathers children who are his own half-siblings. All of these actions are offensive to the gods and to mortals. So Oedipus says that he wants to spend whatever life he has left on earth in the mountains outside Thebes, away from family, friends and people.

The 7 surviving plays of Sophocles are: "Antigone," "Oedipus Rex" (also known as "Oedipus the King"), "Oedipus at Colonus," "Ajax," "Electra," "The Women of Trachis" (also known as "The Trachiniae"), and "Philoctetes."
No surviving or known play by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.) comes after "Antigone" in terms of plot and characters, but "Oedipus at Colonus" comes after in terms of suspected date of writing and performance.Specifically, the story of Theban King Oedipus and his children is told in chronological order by the sequencing of "Oedipus Rex," then "Oedipus at Colonus" and finally "Antigone." But that is not the order of earliest to latest suspected date of writing and performance. "Antigone" is thought to have been written around 442 B.C.E. "Oedipus Rex" is suspected of having been written around 430 B.C.E. since its first known performance was at the Theatre of Dionysus in Athens, Greece in 429 B.C.E. "Oedipus at Colonus" is guesstimated as having been written just before the playwright's death since its performance was posthumous, in 401 B.C.E.
