Haemon is the name of Antigone's fiancé in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).

Specifically, Theban Prince Haemon is the only surviving child and heir apparent of Theban monarchs Creon and Eurydice. He becomes engaged to his first cousin, Princess Antigone. It appears to be a love match, according to observations by Ismene, Antigone's younger sister.
