Sisters and cousins is the relationship between Antigone and Ismene in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Antigone and Ismene are the daughters of disgraced Theban monarchs Oedipus and Jocasta. Their parents both are direct descendants of Cadmus, Thebes' founder and first king, but by different grandchildren. Their parents therefore are cousins to each other as are the sisters Antigone and Ismene.
Death is what happens to Antigone's and Ismene's parents in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, disgraced Theban monarchs Oedipus and Jocasta are the parents of the Princesses Antigone and Ismene. Jocasta commits suicide when she realizes that her second husband, King Oedipus, is her son from her first marriage to King Laius. Oedipus dies after blinding himself and living in exile.

Nothing indicates that differences are settled between Antigone and Ismene in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Ismene does not appear in the play after her explosive interaction with her sister Antigone during the latter's trial. Subsequently, Creon indicates that he will release Ismene, as innocent of wrongdoing, and punish Antigone, as the lone perpetrator.
