It is the relationship of niece to uncle that is revealed in the scene between Antigone and Creon in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, Theban King Creon calls Princess Antigone his closest living blood relative. He describes her as his sister's child. But it is not until Ismene, Antigone's sister and Creon's niece, shows up that Antigone also is identified as Creon's intended daughter-in-law engaged to his only surviving son and heir apparent, Prince Haemon.

If Antigone disobeys Creon's Law in "Antigone," Antigone is to be sentenced to death.
Whom to obey is the conflict between Antigone and Creon in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone believes that the gods rule in life and death. She chooses to obey the gods when divine and royal laws conflict. In contrast, her uncle King Creon expects his own laws to be obeyed.
Father to son is the relationship between Creon and Haemon in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Creon and Queen Eurydice are the parents of three children. Their daughter Megara and their son Menoeceus die violent deaths. Prince Haemon is their sole surviving child and heir.

That he does not know or understand Haemonand that their interactions are infrequent is what Creon's words suggest about his relationship with his son in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Creon talks at instead of with everyone, including Haemon, his only surviving child and heir apparent. Previously, he hears but does not process Princess Ismene's comments on the deep love between Haemon and Antigone, Ismene's sister, Haemon's first cousin and bride-to-be and Creon's niece. His conversation after sentencing Antigone to death alienates Haemon in its insensitivity to Antigone's plight, Haemon's feelings and Theban suffering.
