What happens to Antigone's family?

Answer 1

That her mother and she each commit suicide, her father dies a special death and her brothers kill each other is what happens to Antigone's family.

Specifically, ancient Greek dramatist Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.) explains that Theban Queen Jocasta, Princess Antigone's mother and grandmother, hangs herself during the course of the play "Oedipus Rex." Disgraced King Oedipus, Antigone's father and half-brother, is there one minute and gone the next in a secret place of death outside the ancient Greek city of Athens in Sophocles' play "Oedipus at Colonus." Antigone's twin brothers, Eteocles and Polyneices, kill each other in the final battle of a civil war over the Theban royal succession just before the opening scene of Sophocles' play "Antigone." It is unknown what happens to Princess Ismene, but other sources suggest that she dies during the civil war that ends with her brothers' deaths.
