Bury Polyneices is what Creon does just before finding Antigone dead in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, Theban King Creon decides to reverse his actions. He first has the body of his nephew Polyneices buried. He then goes to free Antigone, whom he finds hanging dead from the halter of her own dress.

How does Haimon feel about Antigone?
Haemon is Antigone's betrothed, and loves her. In spite of his father Creon's contempt and opposition of Antigone, he supports her decision to bury her brother Polyneices and is aware of the situation in Thebes: the citizens also support Antigone's decision, although they are too terrified to betray their emotions to King Creon. He even attempts to defend Antigone to Creon, but is ignored. In the end, Haemon's love for Antigone is what causes him to commit suicide after finding her dead body.
Does Haemon wound Creon by stabbing him?
No. He lunges at Creon, misses, and stabs himself to be dead with Antigone.
How does the play Antigone end?
After Antigone has been killed, Haemon, Ismene and Queen Eurydice commit suicide. Creon at last repents seeing that he has caused all this by acting against the gods. [Actually, Antigone commits suicide, too. She hangs herself rather than slowly starve to death in the tomb in which Creon has had her sealed. Finding her dead is why Haemon kills himself. Finding that Haemon is dead is why Eurydice kills herself: cause and effect.]

Why does Creon demand Haemon's death in 'Antigone'?
Theban King Creon does not demand the death of his son Haemon in the play "Antigone" by ancient Greek playwright Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Creon demands unquestioning obedience in all personal and professional interactions. Antigone, his niece and future daughter-in-law, disobeys Creon by burying the body of her dead brother Polyneices. It is Antigone that Creon wants dead, not Theban Prince Haemon.

That she is caught violating the law is the reason why the sentry leads Antigone into Creon's presence in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone breaks her uncle King Creon's law of non-burial of the disloyal Theban dead. She buries her brother Polyneices' body before guards are posted. She comes back to check on her work and is captured. The sentry escorts to be interrogated and sentenced by Creon.
