Be an evil wife and make him lose his power and his reason are what Creon says that a woman can do to Haemon in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).

He makes his feelings toward women in general and his niece Princess Antigone in particular known to his son Prince Haemon during their interaction in the third scene. He says that Antigone is an evil woman who will be an evil wife and the cause of Haemon's personal and professional ruin.

How much is Creon to blame for the suicides of Antigone Haemon and Eurydice in 'Antigone'?
Theban King Creon is very much to blame for the suicides of Antigone, Haemon, and Theban Queen Eurydice.

She's engaged to her first cousin, Haemon, who's Creon's only surviving child. But that doesn't stop her intended father-in-law from walling her up in a remote cave away from family and friends.Haemon also is young. But he and Antigone love each other and want to marry. Creon indicates that Haemon eventually will be marrying someone who meets with royal approval.Eurydice wants Antigone and Haemon to marry. Haemon is the only one of four children to survive. All of the other three die tragically. So she doesn't want Haemon to die at an early age. She wants to see him happily married, with children.So Creon gets in the way of what's important to his niece, his son, and his wife. He refuses to listen to what they say or to care about what they want. Everything has to be his way. And his way makes life miserable for Antigone, Haemon, and Eurydice. That's why each one of them commits suicide. Each one of them prefers to begin their journey to the Underworld of the afterlife rather than to spend one minute more above ground on Creon's terms.
