No role at all is played by Antigone' womanhood in Creon's sentence in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.).
Specifically, Theban King Creon sentences his niece, Princess Antigone, to death for disobeying a royal edict that contradicts a far older divine law and cherished Theban tradition. He plans to have her die under a shower of hard, heavy, sharp rocks thrown at her by her fellow Thebans. But he changes his mind, not because of her womanhood, but because of her quick mind which he fears will turn her into a martyr with such a public execution.
