No, Creon does not let Antigone go free because she dies before he can do so in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Creon has his niece, Princess Antigone, buried alive in a remote cave for burying her brother Polyneices despite a royal edict forbidding burial of the disloyal Theban dead. Creon remains firm on the non-burial and the death sentence until he is warned that the royal household will suffer. He therefore reverses the non-burial order and, too late, approves Antigone's release.


What finally makes Creon relent in 'Antigone'?

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.
