Best Answer

Nothing happens to Theban Prince Haemon in the play "Oedipus Rex" by ancient Greek playwright Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).

Specifically, Haemon's father, Theban King Creon, is among the cast of characters in "Oedipus Rex." But there is no appearance by or reference to Haemon. Creon's son makes his appearance as the first cousin and groom-to-be of the main female character in the play "Antigone" also by Sophocles.
