The prevention of three deaths is the effect if Creon changes his mind earlier in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).

Specifically, Theban King Creon does not change his mind about his non-burial edict until after meeting with his son Prince Haemon, then Teiresias the blind prophet and finally the chorus leader. Between the first two meetings, Princess Antigone is escorted to her live burial in a cave outside Thebes. A change in mind at that point or between the second and third meetings may have prevented the suicides in quick succession of Antigone, Haemon and Haemon's mother Queen Eurydice.

Antigone and Eurydice curse Creon in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Creon issues a non-burial law, exposes his nephew Polyneices' body to ravaging weather and scrounging wildlife, breaks his son Prince Haemon's engagement to Princess Antigone, whom he arrests and sentences to death.
