A last visit with, and royal protection for, his daughters are the favors that Theban King Oedipus asks of his brother-in-law and uncle, Theban King Creon. Daughters Antigone and Ismene are young and therefore not as adept at handling the family scandal as are their older twin brothers, Eteocles and Polyneices. Oedipus hopes that Creon will honor the ties of blood and royalty to his princess nieces. The girls well may have problems finding husbands and leading acceptable lives as the daughters of a murderous father and of incestuous parents.

Death is the way in which Oedipus plans to punish Creon in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Oedipus decides that his royal advisor, Teiresias the blind prophet, and his royal colleague, Creon, are conspiring to grab all royal powers for themselves. He confronts Creon, his brother-in-law and uncle, but rejects the latter's spirited but logical self-defense. Oedipus announces that punishment options are exile or execution, and he favors the latter.

How does Creon react when Oedipus asks to be accompanied by his children in exile in 'Oedipus Rex'?
Bureaucratically is the way in which Creon reacts when Oedipus asks to be accompanied by his children in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Creon favors following proper procedure. How disgraced Theban King Oedipus is to be punished must be decided by the gods. Creon therefore responds hurriedly, dismissively and bureaucratically to Oedipus' attempts to weight his punishment options toward exile with his daughters over execution or exile alone.

That he must wait for the decision of the gods is what Creon says when Oedipus asks to take his children with him in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, disgraced Theban King Oedipus favors as his punishment exile over execution and company as opposed to loneliness in exile.

But Creon prefers to follow proper procedure and will not be budged in isolating and placing Oedipus under house arrest awaiting divine expression of the particular punishment option.

Is Creon Oedipus' son in 'Oedipus Rex'?
No, Creon is not Oedipus' son in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Creon is Oedipus' uncle, brother-in-law, royal colleague and ultimately royal successor. Shortly after Oedipus' arrival in Thebes, he marries widowed Theban Queen Jocasta, Creon's sister. But Oedipus does not know that he actually is Jocasta's son and therefore Creon's nephew. Creon becomes Oedipus' royal successor once Jocasta's and Oedipus' incest and Oedipus' murder of his own father become known.
