The blind prophet Tiresias tells Creon that he is cursed because he has angered the gods by ignoring their will and allowing pride to cloud his judgment. Creon’s refusal to heed divine warnings and his harsh treatment of Antigone, who honored her brother with burial rites, have brought about a dire prophecy. Tiresias warns that Creon’s actions will lead to personal loss and suffering, emphasizing that the gods will not tolerate such disrespect.
