Ancestry, Haemon, homelands and personality are what Antigone and Creon have in common in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).

Specifically, Theban Princess and King Creon both are direct descendants of Cadmus, Thebes' founder and first king. Both also love Haemon, Creon's son and Antigone's betrothed. The two both originate from Thebes. The niece and uncle share similar personalities in that they each are proud, stubborn and uncompromising.
