That survival depends upon respecting authority figures and their rules is Creon's argument on the importance of obedience in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, Theban King Creon is concerned with the security of his family and Theban society as well as the stability of his kingship. He lets it be known that there must be no challenge or questioning of his authority and his rules within the royal household or the Theban government. Rules need to make sense only to him as the supreme household and governmental authority figure over his family and his people.
