Disrespect clearly expressed divine will is what Creon does wrong in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, all Thebans benefit from god-given guarantees of below-ground burials and proper funeral rites when they die. But Theban King Creon feels threatened and vindictive regarding the recent civil war over the Theban royal succession. He therefore issues the edict of non-burial of the disloyal Theban dead. He ultimately loses everyone and everything that give his life meaning just because he is foolish enough to go against the gods.
That he is in the wrong is the reason that Antigone gives Creon for disobeying his orders in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone breaks a royal edict issued by her uncle, King Creon. The edict conflicts with divine law and Theban tradition. Antigone explains that she breaks Creon's law because he is in the wrong and that she observes divine law because the gods rule.

Creon is Antigone's uncle.
If Antigone disobeys Creon's Law in "Antigone," Antigone is to be sentenced to death.

It is by his own son and his royal advisor that Creon is proven wrong in saying that none of his subjects thinks as Antigone does in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Creon contradicts Princess Antigone's claim that Thebans believe her correct in obeying divine will and their king wrong in contradicting divine will. But his own son, Prince Haemon, indicates that Antigone has the support of the Theban people. Then Creon's royal advisor, Teiresias the blind prophet, insists that Thebans are suffering and unhappy under Creon's cruel law of non-burial of the disloyal Theban dead.
Creon's wife's name in Antigone is Eurydice.
Because she thinks that he is wrong is the reason why Antigone defies Creon in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Creon issues a royal edict by which Theban loyalists are honored with below-ground burials and funeral rites but by which those same god-given rights are denied his perceived enemies. One of the Thebans who will be left above ground to be ravaged by weather and wildlife is Princess Antigone's brother Polyneices. Antigone decides that it is wrong to defy divine will and Theban traditions and that it is right to defy Creon.
Niece to uncle is Antigone's relationship to Creon in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone is the eldest daughter of disgraced Theban monarchs Oedipus and Jocasta. Queen Jocasta is Creon's sister. Antigone therefore is Creon's niece.

It is by burying her brother that Antigone breaks a moral law in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the phrase moral law describes the enforcement of right and wrong in society. The description fits the non-burial edict that is issued by Theban Princess Antigone's uncle King Creon. It is right for Antigone to respect Creon as her guardian, relative and ruler. It therefore is wrong for her to break his law.
He doesn't let Antigone bury her brother. When he found out that she disobeyed him, Creon had Antigone killed.
