Why does Antigone think that Creon issues his decree in 'Antigone'?
That it is a part of the curse on her family is the reason why Antigone thinks that Creon issues his decree in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone discusses with her sister Princess Ismene the divine curse that makes life so miserable for the children of disgraced Theban King Oedipus. She does not mention that her uncle King Creon rules as a usurper of the royal powers of the now deceased twin brothers Eteocles and Polyneices. So a curse may be at work but so is Creon's attempt to consolidate his rule and discredit the true heir's son and supporters.
