Specifically, Theban King Creon acts as the earthly representative of the gods in
Thebes. He is the immediate authority figure over his people. He may consult with advisors such as the leader of the chorus of Theban elders and Teiresias the blind prophet. But at all times he must make sure that what he does and says does not contradict or compete with the gods.

In "Antigone," Tiresias serves as a prophet who warns Creon about the consequences of his actions in refusing to bury Polynices. Tiresias predicts that the gods will punish Creon for his hubris, leading to the deaths of his son and wife. Tiresias' prophecy ultimately proves true, highlighting the theme of divine justice and the limits of human power.
Power is what Antigone holds that Creon values in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone dislikes the way in which her uncle King Creon rules Thebes. She feels that he disrespects the tried and true ways of the importance of family, gods and traditions. She says that Creon has the power to do what he wills but that royal will needs to harmonize with divine will.
To do and say as they will is what Antigone says is the power of kings in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone finds her uncle King Creon delusional. Creon gives her the death sentence for breaking his edict of non-burial of the disloyal Theban dead. He insists that all Thebes is on his side in terms of issuing and enforcing his edict. Antigone knows that Thebans believe as she does and that fear keeps them from following her defiant lead.
The turning point in Antigone is when Creons son, Haimon, dies. Creon shows remorse and compassion for the first time, but most importantly he takes responsibility for his actions and is able to admit to himself that Haimons death is his fault. Creon is a dynamic character, he changes greatly throughout the play and by the end he is able to accept that his own mortality is enevitable and that family comes before fortune.
