Witness to Oedipus as a devoted father, sympathy for the suffering of an entire family, and lack of criminal intent and immoral design are the purposes served by the appearance of Antigone and Ismene in the Exodus of "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. -- 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, Theban King Creon begins the play as a role model of personal happiness and professional success for his people. By the end of the play, he is found to be his father's killer, his mother's husband and his children's half-brother. That his criminal acts and immoral actions are committed without intent, premeditation or prior knowledge is supported by his loving interaction with his daughters, the Princesses Antigone and Ismene.
