Whether he is angry over Antigone's death sentence and if he questions royal authority are what Creon asks Haemon in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, Theban King Creon gives the death sentence to Antigone, his niece and intended daughter-in-law, for disobeying his non-burial law against the disloyal dead in the recent civil war over royal succession. Creon wants to make sure that his only surviving child understands decision-making in Thebes. To Creon's way of thinking, a king rules alone, and what he says must be done without any attempt at a contrary act or opinion by his family and his people.
