After Polyneices was buried, his sister Antigone was caught performing the burial rites, defying King Creon’s edict that forbade the burial of traitors. Creon sentenced her to death, leading to a series of tragic events, including the suicides of Antigone, Creon's son Haemon (who was betrothed to her), and Creon's wife Eurydice. These events ultimately led to Creon's profound realization of his mistakes and the devastating consequences of his rigid adherence to law over familial loyalty and compassion.
