Unforgiving laws and swift punishment are what Creon believes justice to be in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, Theban King Creon assumes royal responsibilities as the closest, most eligible, sole surviving member of the Theban royal family. He does so in the aftermath of the bloody first civil war over the Theban royal succession. He feels the need to discourage future challenges to his authority. He sees the most effective approach as the harsh justice of strict laws and swift executions. He thinks that punishment of Theban rebels must be on the same vindictive level as that of enemy invaders.
