Zeus is the god's name in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Zeus is the chief god. Both Theban Princess Antigone and King Creon mention him. The chorus and characters reference other gods as well: Aries the war god, Bacchus the wine god, Hades the Underworld god and Persephone the Underworld goddess.
Antigone isn't a goddess even though she's the great great great great great granddaughter of Poseidon, sea god and brother to Zeus, king of the gods.
Proud boasting is what Zeus utterly abhors in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the chorus leader identifies Zeus the chief god's pet peeve just after the opening interaction between Theban Princesses Antigone and Ismene. He describes the prideful boasting in the case of Polyneices amassing an army of disgruntled Thebans and supportive Argives to attack his own hometown of Thebes. Ironically, Polyneices in reality can be said to be in the right for defending his legitimate claim to the Theban royal throne, and his claim is vindicated when his son Thersander takes over the throne and keeps it within the hands of his descendants.
In the play 'Antigone' some of the gods specifically are mentioned by name. For example, reference is made to Aphrodite, Bacchus, Pallas, Persephone, Pluto, and Zeus. Other gods generally are mentioned by attribute. For example, the fire and war gods are mentioned by the particular quality for which they're consulted and worshipped.
That they each offend a very important person, face divine curses and deal with unburied Theban dead are reasons why Antigone compares herself to Niobe in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone must decide what to do about an unburied dead brother. Lydian Princess Niobe, wife of Theban wall builder Amphion, must deal with her unburied dead children. Their predicaments are aggravated by divine curses and offensive attitudes and behaviors towards very important people. For example, Antigone offends Creon, her uncle and her sovereign, while Niobe is offensive to Leto, goddess and mother of Zeus' children Apollo and Artemis.

Theban King Creon mentions only the chief god Zeus by name in 'Antigone'. Otherwise, his references are indirect in terms of Thebes' gods. For example, he speaks of Hades in terms of the underworld location of a mortal's afterlife. But nowhere does he mention the underworld god or the members of the underworld divine family by name.
