That he fears for his own family is the reason why Creon relents in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, Theban King Creon insists upon denying to disloyal Thebans the god-given rights of all Thebans to below ground burials. He does not care about the desecration and dismemberment of the exposed bodies of the disloyal Theban dead or about the pain and suffering of the survivors. He backs down only when the chorus leader convinces him that Teiresias the blind prophet knows all things and therefore needs to be heeded when he says that what goes around comes back around to Creon's own family.
