The climax of Antigone is when Creon and Antigone have their confrontation, and Creon realizes he cannot overpower her. She goes on teasing and disobeying him, and so he angrily condemns her to death. The second time a climax could occur is when the reader realizes that Antigone has killed herself right before Creon decided to release her. It's an ironic twist that emphasizes the tragic aspect of the play. Depending on your perspective, either one of those could be the climax.
The climax, I believe, is the argument that takes place between Antigone and Creon since that is where the play actually begins.
Their argument is what will, eventually, decide the fate of Polynices and Antigone herself.
