It is the chorus leader who convinces Oedipus to allow Creon to leave in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, Theban King Oedipus accuses his brother-in-law and royal colleague, Creon, of conspiring with Teiresias the blind prophet to grab all royal powers for themselves. He demands execution as the punishment in the choice between that and exile. Oedipus' wife, Queen Jocasta, makes an unsuccessful effort to talk Oedipus out of such cruel, rash action. But Oedipus relents only when the chorus leader observes that unity instead of conflict is needed and that Creon swears an oath as to the truth of his self-defense.

How does Creon come to power?
The suicide of his sister, the exile of his broher-in-law, the deaths of his nephews, and the childhood of the heirs are what allow Creon to become the sole King of Thebes. The throne first is held by Laius. But Laius gets murdered, albeit unknowingly, by his own son, Oedipus. Albeit unknowingly again, Oedipus then marries his own mother, Laius' widow Jocasta. The couple discovers their incest years later. Jocasta kills herself. Oedipus blinds himself, goes into exile, and dies away from home.Oedipus is succeeded by his twin sons, Eteocles and Polyneices. The twins are supposed to alternate throne years in a joint power sharing arrangement. But Eteocles refuses to hand over the throne when his year is up. Polyneices is exiled, but returns with supporters from Argos to assert his royal rights by force. The brothers end up killing each. They each leave heirs who are too young to rule.That's where Creon comes in. He's Jocasta's brother-in-law. As with Laius and Oedipus, he's in direct line of descent from Cadmus, the founder and first king of Thebes. After Laius' death and Jocasta's remarriage, Creon enters into a power sharing arrangement with Oedipus and Jocasta. So he's experienced, he's entitled, and he's enthusiastic. The throne is his.

What problems do Oedipus' children have in 'Oedipus Rex'?
Sibling rivalry and personality clashes are the problems that Oedipus' children have in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Oedipus' son Eteocles reneges on the royal power sharing arrangement by which he and his twin brother Polyneices are to alternate years of rule. They fight it out to their mutual deaths on the battlefield outside Thebes. Eteocles ends up being buried since his uncle Creon succeeds him as king. Creon does not feel bound to do things the way that they always have been done in Thebes. He therefore decides to treat Polyneices as a dead enemy and leave his body above ground and exposed to the weather and wildlife. Princess Antigone, his niece and Polyneices' sister, clashes with him on this point, to her own fatal detriment.
