Creon didn't kill Haemon. Creon decided too late to release Antigone. She was already dead, and Haemon tried to save her but Creon called him stupid. This was "the last straw" per say, so Haemon lashed out on Creon and Haemon fell on his sword killing himself.
Creon threatens that he will kill Antigone before his son. This is particularly threatening because Creon's son has a passionate love (eros) for Antigone and they were going to get married.
Creon's son was Haimon.
he is antigone's soon to be husband and the son of Creon and he tries to convince his father not to kill antigone
Creon says that a good son is loyal, is respectful, and is obedient in "Antigone."
No, Haemon is not a loyal son to Creon in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Prince Haemon starts out trying to be loyal to his father, King Creon. But Creon plans to execute Princess Antigone, Haemon's first cousin and betrothed. Haemon passionately loves Antigone and finds the execution unacceptable. He therefore expresses disloyalty by opposing his father's non-burial edict, supporting Antigone's civil disobedience and even trying to kill Creon.

No, Theban King Oedipus isn't Theban King Creon's son. Instead, he's the son of King Laius and Queen Merope of Thebes. So he's Creon's brother-in-law and nephew.

Oedipus is not Creon's son. Creon is the brother of Jocasta, who both gave birth to Oedipus and married him. So he is Oedipus' uncle/brother-in-law, but he's not his father. His father is Laios.
The seer's name is Tiresias. He tells Creon that if Creon does not follow the laws of the gods and refuse to bury Antigone's brother, then Creon's own son will die.
Creon is Oedipus's uncle.
