Issuing his edict is Creon's hamartia in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the term hamartia describes an error or mistake in judgment.

Antigone's extreme disrespect to Creon is the hamartia or mistake in judgment committed by a tragic hero in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone is contradictory, demeaning and insulting in her verbal interactions with King Creon. She owes him respect as her guardian, her relative and her sovereign. But she shows him no respect at all and therefore loses any chance at a lighter sentence if not a pardon for breaking his edict against burial of the disloyal Theban dead.
