Theban King Creon questions the correctness of his actions only during his meeting with Teiresias the blind prophet. At first, he doesn't like the answers that Teiresias gives him. So he insults and threatens the prophet. The prophet finally reciprocates by warning Creon of dire days of grief, misery, and unbearable pain ahead. Creon quickly realizes that his household and his job are at stake. At that point, he backs down from his stubborn demands of obedience to his every will or death.
