He listens to Tiresias who told Creon to think of what he has done.
Haemon tells his father Creon to not act with sovereign and to listen to other people's thoughts.
That he needs her to listen to him and not disobey him at all.
The Choragus convinces Creon to reconsider his harsh stance against Antigone. He urges Creon to show mercy and listen to the counsel of the people, highlighting the importance of compassion and the consequences of stubbornness. Ultimately, the Choragus emphasizes that wisdom lies in humility and flexibility in leadership.
It is because of previous advice that Creon owes Teiresias in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Creon meets with his royal advisor, Teiresias the blind prophet. Teiresias observes that Creon needs to listen and act upon what will be said during their meeting. He says that he has Creon's best interests at heart, as can be seen by previous advice.
The sentry is afraid to bring news of the burial to Creon because he fears punishment for failing to prevent it, as Creon has strictly prohibited the burial of Polyneices. His fears are justified, given Creon's harsh stance on disobedience. When the sentry finally reports the news, Creon accuses him of being complicit in the act, suggesting that if he had done his job properly, the burial would not have occurred. This accusation reflects Creon's paranoia and desire to maintain control over the situation.

It is Polyneices' burial and Antigone's release that Creon and the chorus leader finally agree upon in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Creon denies to his nephew Polyneices the god-given rights of all Thebans to below ground burials. He gives the death sentence to his niece Antigone for burying her brother. But advised by the chorus leader, Creon finally gives in when he hears Teiresias' prediction that the mourning that goes around Thebes for disloyal and loyal Theban dead will come back around to the royal household.
Creon and Teiresias differ primarily in their roles and perspectives within "Antigone." Creon, as the ruler of Thebes, embodies the authority of law and state, prioritizing order and political power. In contrast, Teiresias, the blind prophet, represents wisdom and moral insight, warning Creon about the consequences of his hubris and the importance of honoring the divine laws. While Creon stubbornly clings to his decisions, Teiresias advocates for humility and the need to listen to divine guidance.
That Creon needs to listen to his son and that Haemon needs to respect his father is what the chorus leader says in the third scene of "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Prince Haemon meets with his father, King Creon. He notes that the best rulers listen to other opinions and look at the consequences of their policies. Creon objects to everything that Haemon says. Haemon resorts to anger and disrespect. The chorus leader suggests that father and son need to listen to and respect each other.
When Haemon berates Creon, urging him to consider the people's views and the importance of compromise, Creon reacts with anger and stubbornness. He dismisses Haemon's concerns, insisting on the necessity of upholding the law and his authority as king. Creon's pride and refusal to listen to reason ultimately lead to a tragic confrontation between father and son, highlighting his rigid adherence to power over familial bonds.
Let him go is what Oedipus finally decides to do about Creon in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Oedipus accuses his brother-in-law and royal colleague Creon of treasonously conspiring with Teiresias the blind prophet to grab all royal powers for themselves. The charge carries a punishment of execution or exile. Oedipus is bent on execution, but finally is dissuaded through the joint efforts of his wife Queen Jocasta and the chorus leader.
That his only remaining child will die and that the chorus leader tells him to bury Polyneices and free Antigone are what finally make Creon relent in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Teiresias the blind prophet warns Theban Creon in Episode 4 that what goes around comes: Every household in Thebes mourns the dead and hates Creon for refusing god-given burial rights to the disloyal dead. So too will Creon experience the loss of his only remaining child. But Creon hesitates until the chorus leader tells him to back down and reverse the carrying out of an edict that contradicts divine will and therefore has dire consequences for all Thebes.
