Antigone does not refer to her father as a general in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).

Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone calls her father by his name in the opening lines of the play. At the same time, she discusses the latest actions taken by her uncle King Creon. She refers to Creon as a captain.
