The deaths of Antigone and Haemon are foreshadowed at the end of the scene between Creon and Haemon in "Antigone" by Sophocles(495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, Theban King Creon sentences Princess Antigone to death for breaking his law against burial of the disloyal Theban dead from the recent civil war over the royal succession. Prince Haemon, Creon's son and Antigone's betrothed, makes an effort to get his father to allow the burials and to pardon and release Antigone. He does not succeed and ends with the fateful comment that the death of one life (Antigone) will cause the destruction of another (his own).
Creon is his dad and antigone is his cousin
Theban King Creon was the brother of Queen Jocasta. He was the father of Haemon. Jocasta was the mother of Antigone. So Creon was Antigone's uncle, and Jocasta Haemon's aunt. That made the betrothed couple Antigone and Haemon first cousins.
Angrily, insensitively and insultingly is the way in which Creon reacts to Haemon defending Antigone in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Prince Haemon is first cousin and husband-to-be of Princess Antigone. Haemon's father, King Creon, issues a law that Antigone breaks and for which the sentence is death. Haemon loves Antigone and unsuccessful tries to save her. It is a lost cause since Creon thinks one woman is like any other and therefore completely replaceable.
No, Haemon is not a loyal son to Creon in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Prince Haemon starts out trying to be loyal to his father, King Creon. But Creon plans to execute Princess Antigone, Haemon's first cousin and betrothed. Haemon passionately loves Antigone and finds the execution unacceptable. He therefore expresses disloyalty by opposing his father's non-burial edict, supporting Antigone's civil disobedience and even trying to kill Creon.
Haemon is engaged to Antigone. The two are first cousins. Haemon's father is Theban King Creon. Antigone's mother is Theban Queen Jocasta. Creon and Jocasta are brother and sister.

Father to son is the relationship between Creon and Haemon in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Creon and Queen Eurydice are the parents of three children. Their daughter Megara and their son Menoeceus die violent deaths. Prince Haemon is their sole surviving child and heir.
Antigone was (engaged to?) Haemon, Creon's son, which is why he was so upset when she died.
to release Antigone
That that never will happen is Haemon's response when Creon says he will see Antigone die in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Prince Haemon says that he will not stand by and see Princess Antigone killed. He promises that this is the last that Creon, his father and Antigone's intended father-in-law, will see of him. He then goes running out.
