Antigone isn't a goddess even though she's the great great great great great granddaughter of Poseidon, sea god and brother to Zeus, king of the gods.

Zeus is the god's name in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Zeus is the chief god. Both Theban Princess Antigone and King Creon mention him. The chorus and characters reference other gods as well: Aries the war god, Bacchus the wine god, Hades the Underworld god and Persephone the Underworld goddess.
If Antigone disobeys Creon's Law in "Antigone," Antigone is to be sentenced to death.
Antigone was the great great great great great granddaughter of the sea god Poseidon. But she wasn't called a goddess. Instead, she was called Princess, as the daughter of Theban King Oedipus and Queen Jocasta. She was supposed to have died by stoning or by being walled up in a remote cave. She indeed was walled up in a cave. But not too long afterwards, she committed suicide by hanging herself with her own halter.

That they each offend a very important person, face divine curses and deal with unburied Theban dead are reasons why Antigone compares herself to Niobe in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone must decide what to do about an unburied dead brother. Lydian Princess Niobe, wife of Theban wall builder Amphion, must deal with her unburied dead children. Their predicaments are aggravated by divine curses and offensive attitudes and behaviors towards very important people. For example, Antigone offends Creon, her uncle and her sovereign, while Niobe is offensive to Leto, goddess and mother of Zeus' children Apollo and Artemis.
