Who goes with Oedipus when he is exiled from Thebes in 'Oedipus at Colonus'?

Antigone goes with Oedipus when he is exiled from Thebes in "Oedipus at Colonus" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone accompanies her father, King Oedipus, into exile from Thebes. Many of the ancient stories have variant versions. According to other versions, Ismeneaccompanies her father and sister.


What members of Antigone's family precede her in death in 'Antigone'?

Her mother, father and two brothers are the family members who precede Antigone in death in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Queen Jocasta hangs herself in "Oedipus Rex." King Oedipus is there one minute, gone the next in "Oedipus at Colonus." Between "Oedipus at Colonus" and "Antigone," twin brothers Eteocles and Polyneices kill each other during the final battle in the civil war over the royal succession. Additionally, Princess Ismene also may precede her sister in death: variant versions and other sources say that Ismene is killed during the civil war, and Antigone does make a statement about being the only survivor from Oedipus' family in "Antigone."


To whom is Ismene betrothed in 'Antigone'?

Ismene is not betrothed to anyone in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, little information is given about Theban Princess Ismene. No mention is made of her circumstances or of her fate. The audience just knows that King Creon believes in Ismene's innocence and does not punish her for Antigone's crime of burying Polyneices in violation of a royal edict to the contrary.Many of the stories from ancient Greece have variant versions. Such is the case with the little known Ismene. According to some versions, Ismene accompanies Antigone and Oedipus when the latter is exiled for killing his father, marrying his mother, and fathering children of whom he is also the half-brother. According to others, Ismene is killed before her brothers Eteocles and Polyneices kill each other during the civil war over the Theban royal succession.


Is Creon exiled from Thebes in 'Antigone'?

Yes, Creon is exiled from Thebes according to some versions of the stories about the Theban royal family.Specifically, Creon issues an edict that is contrary to the divinely expressed will of the gods. Offenses against the gods are punishable, and the punishment tends to be execution or exile in terms of royal perpetrators. The play "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.) ends with Creon being deserted by his family, all of whom choose suicide over life with him and with his losing his job and being escorted away from the public eye.

Does Creon live in 'Antigone'?

Yes, Creon still lives at the end of "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, all that the audience knows is that Theban King Creon loses everything that gives meaning to his life: reputation, job, home, and family. He therefore welcomes death, but does not find it during the confines of the play. There are subsequent variant versions such as Creon being murdered, but Sophocles does not include any final information about Creon in any of his three surviving plays about King Oedipus and his family.
