Insults followed by reluctant acceptance is Creon's response to Teiresias' advice in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).

Specifically, Theban King Creon issues the turns Theban rights to below-ground burials and funeral rites into differentially applied privileges. Birds and dogs therefore eat the flesh and drink the blood of the unburied dead. Teiresias the blind prophet tells Creon to bury his nephew Polyneices and to free his niece Antigone, whom he sentences to death for burying his brother. Creon accuses Teiresias of being paid to say what he says and refuses to reverse his acts until counseled to do so by the chorus leader.
