That she uses her hands to commit the crime and that her behavior will affect the outcome of her trial are the reasons why the chorus says that death lies in Antigone's hands in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone buries her brother Polyneices despite King Creon's edict on the non-burial of the disloyal dead from the recent civil war over the royal succession. She has to bury Polyneices twice since Creon posts guards to prevent or reverse burials. The second time she is arrested and thereby has a chance to defend her actions. During her defense, Antigone's life and the treatment of the dead symbolicallyare in her hands, and she botches the opportunity because of her uncompromising stance and complete disinterest in contrary opinions.

Why does Creon say that his hands will be clean after taking Antigone to the vault in 'Antigone'?
That she will kill herself before she dies as a result of his punishment is the reason why Creon says that his hands will be clean after taking Antigone to the vault in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone breaks one of her uncle King Creon's laws for which the punishment is dying at the hands of stone-throwing Thebans. Creon concludes that Antigone has the wits and communication skills to turn Thebans against him and his unpopular edict. He therefore decides to have Antigone walled up in a remote cave with enough food to survive but in such a scary place that she will die at her own hands before dying from his ultimate sentence of death by starvation.
What sentence does Creon impose on Antigone for violating Polyneices burial?
It is initially to just straight up kill Antigone. But then, upon having a meeting with the Seer, who is actually a blind man (ironic much) he decides to change her fate. He will put her in a sealed stone tomb. Therefore no blood will be on his hands when it comes to the death of Antigone. If the gods want to keep her alive, they will. And if not, they won't.
How is Eurydice's death foreshadowed in 'Antigone'?
Teiresias' prophecy of sorrow to come in the royal household, Eurydice suddenly leaving the area outside the palace without a word and the chorus leader's and messenger's fearful comments of what that silence means are the ways in which Eurydice's death is foreshadowed in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, foreshadowing is a literary means by which the audience is warned of an upcoming event. For example, Teiresias the blind prophet speaks of the division and sorrow of Theban households being visited upon the royal family. Then Queen Eurydice receives the news that Prince Haemon, her only surviving child, is dead at his own hands. Eerily and like the sudden passage from life to death, she is outside one minute, then quietly gone the next. Finally, the chorus leader and the messenger are unnerved by Eurydice's ominously silent receipt of such terrible news.
Do both Antigone and her sister die in 'Antigone'?
No, Antigone and her sister do not both die in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone kills herself rather than serve out her death sentence of starvation and live burial. But her sister, Princess Ismene, is spared by their uncle, King Creon. According to other sources, Ismene dies either at the hands of her brother Eteocles' son Laodamas or during the siege of Thebes that ends with the vindication of her brother Polyneices' legitimate claim to the Theban crown and throne.
How is foreshadowing used in 'Antigone'?
To give a hint of future happenings is the way in which foreshadowing is used in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, foreshadowing is a literary technique by which the author hints at what may happen to a main character.

Death by live burial becomes her punishment, but hanging by her own hands becomes her actual fate.

What does Zeus utterly abhor in 'Antigone'?
Proud boasting is what Zeus utterly abhors in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the chorus leader identifies Zeus the chief god's pet peeve just after the opening interaction between Theban Princesses Antigone and Ismene. He describes the prideful boasting in the case of Polyneices amassing an army of disgruntled Thebans and supportive Argives to attack his own hometown of Thebes. Ironically, Polyneices in reality can be said to be in the right for defending his legitimate claim to the Theban royal throne, and his claim is vindicated when his son Thersander takes over the throne and keeps it within the hands of his descendants.
