In the play 'Antigone', no information is given as to the age of the main character of the same name. But in ancient Greece, betrothal arrangements tended to be made in the childhood, if not the infancy, of the future bride and groom. A guess based on Antigone's actions and speech may be at around 15 years old.

If Antigone disobeys Creon's Law in "Antigone," Antigone is to be sentenced to death.
That it is dangerous is what Antigone believes to be important about Creon's values in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone dislikes her uncle King Creon's values. She is oriented toward the old ways of family, gods and traditions. She maintains that what Creon values is destructive to whoever is different from him and gets in his way.

He does not feel influenced or inhibited by what goes before, around or after him. He in fact is in transition from Antigone's old ways of cherished traditions, divine will and family ties.

Unmarried is Antigone's relationship status in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone is old enough to be engaged to Prince Haemon, her first cousin and heir to the Theban throne.
