Antigone and Eurydice curse Creon in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).

Specifically, Theban King Creon issues a non-burial law, exposes his nephew Polyneices' body to ravaging weather and scrounging wildlife, breaks his son Prince Haemon's engagement to Princess Antigone, whom he arrests and sentences to death. For all of the preceding reasons, Antigone curses Creon with the same amount of evil. This curse is augmented by that of Queen Eurydice, Creon's wife and Antigone's intended mother-in-law. Eurydice blames Creon for the earlier deaths of their other children and for the recent suicides of Antigone and Haemon.

How does Antigone treat Creon as she is taken to her tomb in 'Antigone'?

As though he does not exist to his face and critical behind his back are the ways in which Antigone treats Creon as she is taken to her tomb in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Creon is twice in her path when Princess Antigone is escorted from the royal palace to her imprisonment in a walled-up cave. Both times Creon heckles her and smirks about her lonely, miserable death away from all light and all companionship. Both times Antigone acts as though he is not even there, but once outside his presence criticizes his offensive law and finally curses him with the same degree of suffering.
