In Sophocles' play "Antigone," Creon recounts the story of his rise to power and the importance of Law and Order in Thebes. He emphasizes the necessity of loyalty to the state over familial ties, particularly in the wake of conflict and chaos following the civil war. Creon’s narrative reflects his belief that upholding the law is essential for stability, demonstrating a conflict between personal morals and civic duty. Ultimately, his rigid adherence to this principle leads to tragic consequences for him and his family.
