Issuing his edict is Creon's hamartia in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, the term hamartia describes an error or mistake in judgment. Theban King Creon's hamartia is issuing his edict. He knows that the edict contradicts divine will and Theban traditions of below ground burials for all Thebans. But he persists in issuing, enforcing and defending the edict, which puts him on a collision course with the gods.

What is the hamartia or mistake in judgment committed by a tragic hero in 'Antigone'?
Antigone's extreme disrespect to Creon is the hamartia or mistake in judgment committed by a tragic hero in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone is contradictory, demeaning and insulting in her verbal interactions with King Creon.
