Best Answer

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.

Is Haemon a loyal son to Creon 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.
