Pestilence is the new calamity brought by Creon to Thebes according to Teresias in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, birds consume the blood and flesh of the unburied bodies of the disloyal Theban dead. They drop pieces of bloody flesh on the altars, which are left an oozing, smelly mess. They so pollute the altars that divine will cannot be interpreted as well as the streets that pestilence threatens all Thebes. These calamities trace back to Theban King Creon's refusal to honor for the unburied bodies of the disloyal Theban dead their god-given rights as Thebans to below-ground burials.
Creon was next in line for the throne since Eteocles and Polyneices were killed in battle in "Antigone" by Sophocles.The new king of Thebes did claim heir to the throne when Oedipus two sons were killed in the battle.
he blinds himself with his dead wife's broach, summons Creon back to the castle to appoint him the new king of Thebes, asks him to take care of his children and then asks Creon to exile him from the city
The city of Thebes has won a war against Argos. Theban King Creon has a law enacted to regulate the burial of the war's dead. All those who fought for Thebes may be given proper burial. The Argive dead and those Thebans who were allies of Argos must be left exposed to the birds, dogs, and elements. Anyone who violates the law will be put to death by stoning.
That they know a special conference is being called but that they have no idea why is the reason that the chorus of Theban elders are puzzled by Creon's summons in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Creon is new on the job since the previous officeholder, Eteocles, dies in the last battle of the civil war over the Theban royal succession. The chorus of Theban elders guesses that their new king must be making up his mind about something new since he is just starting his reign and a special meeting is being called. But whatever is going on, it is clear from the parados that the chorus is not impartial and that they support Eteocles and Creon against Polyneices' legitimate claim to the crown and throne of Thebes.

Creon is the city's new king in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Eteocles and Polyneices jointly inherit the Theban throne. But they kill each other in the final battle of the civil war over the Theban royal succession. That leaves their uncle Creon as the closest living relative to become king of Thebes.
Thebes was the capital city in new kingdom egypt. It was where Amun-Re was worshipped and also the site of the temple of Karnak.

Weakness is Creon's greatest fear in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Creon is new in his role as solely ruling monarch over all Thebes. He remembers all too well the stresses of the recent bloody civil war over the Theban royal succession. He shudders at the thought of being overthrown and therefore seeks to show no sign of weakness to all of the enemies that he imagines within the confines of his city.
In Sophocles' "Antigone," Creon justifies his succession to the throne by emphasizing the importance of order and loyalty to the state. He believes that as the new ruler, it is his duty to uphold the laws of Thebes and maintain stability after the recent civil strife. Creon argues that his authority is essential for the welfare of the city, viewing his position as a responsibility to enforce justice and protect the societal order above all else.
