It is because of previous advice that Creon owes Teiresias in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, Theban King Creon meets with his royal advisor, Teiresias the blind prophet. Teiresias observes that Creon needs to listen and act upon what will be said during their meeting. He says that he has Creon's best interests at heart, as can be seen by previous advice.
The conflict between Creon and Teiresias in "Antigone" begins with Creon's inability to believe Teiresias' prophecies. Creon believes that he is a traitor.
Teiresias does not persuade Creon to change his mind in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Teiresias the blind prophet warns Theban King Creon that the royal household will suffer the same death and sorrow as Creon inflicts hardheartedly upon Thebes. But Creon continues to insult and threaten his sightless seer and royal councillor. It is after Teiresias leaves and the chorus leader says that Creon needs to bury Polyneices and release Antigone that Creon changes his mind.
It is with disrespect, insults and threats that Creon reacts to what Teiresias says in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Creon dislikes what his royal advisor, Teiresias the blind prophet, says to him about Antigone, pestilence and Polyneices. Teiresias mentions that divine will cannot be interpreted because altars are polluted with human body parts consumed by ritually sacrificed birds. Teiresias observes that the body of Creon's nephew Polyneices needs to be buried and that Creon's niece Antigone needs to be free from her live burial in a remote cave. Creon verbally pummels Teiresias with insults of being bribed to give false information and sabotage royal rule.
That Creon needs to do what Teiresias tells him to is what the chorus leader tells Creon about Teiresias' predictions in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Teiresias the blind prophet announces that the mourning and suffering that goes around all Thebes will come back to the Theban royal household. He cautions that Creon needs to bury Polyneices' body and free Princess Antigone. King Creon does not stop his torrent of insults and threats. But he mentions the predictions to the chorus leader, who says to do what Teiresias says.
The chorus leader convinces Creon to free Antigone in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Creon receives the warning from Teiresias the blind prophet that the royal household will suffer if Creon does not bury Polyneices and free Antigone. Creon keeps up the insults and threats all the way until Teiresias leaves. But he then asks and acts upon the chorus leader's advice.

Antigone, Teiresias the blind prophet, and Theban King Creon don't talk all together about profit and loss in monetary terms. They aren't all on the stage at the same time in 'Antigone'. In fact, playwright Sophocles [496 B.C.E.* - 406 B.C.E.] doesn't give Antigone and Teiresias any opportunity in which to interact. Creon is the only character of the three who gets to interact with everyone else.
Yes, Creon accuses both Teiresias and the guard of accepting bribes. He accuses Teiresias of being motivated by money in his prophecy, and he accuses the guard of being bribed by someone to bury Polynices.
The prophecy was that if Creon did not bury Polynices, his punishment of Antigone will bring a curse down on Thebes. Teiresias prophecy is fufilled by Haimon killing himself..Since Creon would not let Antigone bury her brother(Polynices),Antigone killed herself. So Haimon killed himself because he wanted to be with Antigone because the Creon would not bury the brother of Antigone.
Taking bribes from Thebes' enemies is what Creon accuses Teiresias of in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Creon seeks to end the pestilence in Thebes. He requests information from Teiresias the blind prophet. He dislikes Teiresias not rubber stamping royal actions and therefore accuses him of taking bribes.
Creon wants the guards to hurry to Antigone in the cave because Teiresias (the blind prophet) told him that two family members would die is Antigone did. So at that, Creon needed to save her.
The role of Teiresias is being the blind seer, he also apears in Oedipus Rex. He warns Creon not to kill Antigone becuase he will lose his only son.
That he will bury Polyneices and release Antigone is what Creon decides after Tiresias exits in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Teiresias the blind prophet warns that the pain and suffering of all Thebes will be visited upon Theban King Creon's own family if he does not honor Polyneices' god-given right as a Theban to a below-ground burial and if he does not rescue Antigone from being buried alive. Creon remains stubborn until after Creon leaves. But Creon backs down once the chorus leader tells him to do what Teiresias says.
