Best Answer

The sister of Antigone is who the character Ismene is in the play "Antigone."

Specifically, that blood relationship also makes her the sister of the decreased twins, Theban Kings Eteocles and Polyneices. It also makes her the daughter of disgraced Theban monarchs Oedipus and Jocasta. It makes her the niece of currently reigning Theban King Creon. Finally, women do not rule in Thebes, but she is in the direct line of descent from Cadmus, Founder and first King of Thebes.
