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.
