That Antigone's death will bring about another'sdeath and that father and son never will see each other again are the threats made by Haemon in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, Theban King Creon says that Princess Antigone will be executed. Prince Haemon, Antigone's betrothed, makes an effort to get Creon to change his mind. Creon does not understand that Haemon is foreshadowing his own death in saying that someone will die as a result of Antigone's death and that he never plans to be in his father's company ever again.
