Prince Haemon, her first cousin and groom-to-be, stabs himself with his own sword when he finds Antigone's dead body. Queen Eurydice, Haemon's mother and Antigone's intended mother-in-law, stabs herself with a knife when she hears of the two suicides.

Antigone may be no more than 15 years old when she dies. But that's just a guess. The play 'Antigone' in fact gives no information 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.
