One brother is buried and the other not is what happens to Antigone's and Ismene's family in the prologue to "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, the Theban sister Princesses Antigone and Ismene meet outside the main entrance to the royal palace. Antigone needs to let her sister know what is happening now that the first civil war over the Theban royal succession is over. She refuses to stand idly by while their brother Polyneices's body is denied the below ground burial that is a divine guarantee for all Thebans.
It is unknown what happens to Ismene after Antigone's death in the play "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Ismene appears in the Prologue in conjunction with her and her sister Antigone deciding what to do or not to do about the non-burial edict against the disloyal Theban dead. She then appears in Episode 2 during Theban King Creon's interview of Antigone about breaking the law and giving her brother Polyneices a partial but still proper Theban-style burial. Ismene makes no other appearances, and there are no references to her. But in Episode 3 Antigone describes herself as the last daughter of the Theban royal house. So either Ismene is dead or Antigone disowns her.
Kill herself is what happens to Antigone in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone breaks her uncle King Creon's law by burying her brother Polyneices. She gets sentenced to death. She hangs herself rather than endure death by live burial and starvation.
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.
The incentive moment in "Antigone" is where Antigone decides to resolve her ultimate conflict no matter what happens. That ultimate conflict is when she decides to bury her brother Polyneices herself since nobody else would.
Death is what happens to Antigone's mother and father.Specifically, Theban Queen Jocasta is Antigone's mother. She hangs herself during the last half of "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.). She is survived by King Oedipus, her son and second husband. Oedipus is there one minute and then gone the next according to "Oedipus at Colonus" by the same ancient Greek dramatist.

The same thing that happens to them in the play, strangely enough: they die.

That his family dies is what happens to Creon's family as a result of Antigone's death in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone hangs herself. Prince Haemon kills himself with his own sword when he finds his first cousin and bride-to-be dead. Queen Eurydice stabs herself with a sharp knife when she learns of the suicides of her intended daughter-in-law and of her only surviving child.
The chorus questioning the same sentence forIsmene is what happens when Creon sentences Antigone to death in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the chorus believe Theban Princess Antigone guilty of willfully breaking her uncle King Creon's law of non-burial of the disloyal Theban dead. The members do not appear to have a problem with the death penalty that Creon enforces. But they object to punishing Antigone's sister, Princess Ismene, whom they consider completely uninvolved from beginning to end with Polyneices' unlawful burial.
The aftermath of "Oedipus" is dramatized in another play called "Antigone"

But the engagement is broken when Haemon's father, King Creon, sentences Antigone to be buried alive. Haemon goes to rescue or join her and finds her hanging by the halter of her own dress. He unsuccessfully attempts to kill Creon and then kills himself.
The particular page on which Antigone kills herself depends upon the edition being consulted for "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone's suicide takes place offstage. The audience learns of its occurrence through the messenger's report to the chorus leader. But whatever the edition, the suicide happens in the play's exodus, or last scene.
