What is the significance of Tiresias' prophecy against Creon in 'Antigone'?

That it starts up Creon's reversal process and that it foreshadows Creon's downfall is the significance of Teiresias' prophecy against Creon in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Teiresias the blind prophet sets in motion what no one else can. He prophesies that what goes around in Thebes will come back around to Creon and his family. Creon is so upset that he reverses his policy of non-burial of the disloyal Theban dead and Antigone's death sentence.

In what way is the prophecy of teiresias fulfilled?

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.

How has Tiresias' prophecy that Creon would pay the gods flesh of his own flesh come true?

Tiresias' prophecy that Creon would pay the gods "flesh of his own flesh" comes true when Creon's decisions lead to the deaths of his own family members. His refusal to bury Polynices and his harsh punishment of Antigone provoke the wrath of the gods, resulting in tragic consequences. Ultimately, Creon loses his son Haemon and his wife Eurydice, both of whom take their own lives in despair over his actions. This tragic outcome fulfills Tiresias' warning, demonstrating the dire consequences of pride and disrespect towards divine laws.

Why does Oedipus distrust Creon?

Oedipus distrusts Creon because he feels very threatened by him. He believes Creon and Teiresias are conspiring against him and trying to take his position as king.


Why does Oedipus accuse Creon of conspiring against the throne?

Oedipus accuses Creon of conspiring against the throne out of jealousy and paranoia after hearing the prophecy that he would be overthrown. He misinterprets Creon's visit to the oracle as a scheme to usurp his power, failing to recognize that Creon is a loyal and rational advisor. Oedipus's anger blinds him to reason, leading him to lash out at Creon without substantial evidence. This suspicion ultimately highlights Oedipus's tragic flaws and his inability to accept the truth of his own fate.
