No, Haemon is not a loyal son to Creon in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, Theban Prince Haemon starts out trying to be loyal to his father, King Creon. But Creon plans to execute Princess Antigone, Haemon's first cousin and betrothed. Haemon passionately loves Antigone and finds the execution unacceptable. He therefore expresses disloyalty by opposing his father's non-burial edict, supporting Antigone's civil disobedience and even trying to kill Creon.

What is the relation between Creon and Haemon in 'Antigone'?
Father to son is the relationship between Creon and Haemon in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Creon and Queen Eurydice are the parents of three children. Their daughter Megara and their son Menoeceus die violent deaths. Prince Haemon is their sole surviving child and heir.
Why does Creon demand Haemon's death in 'Antigone'?
Theban King Creon does not demand the death of his son Haemon in the play "Antigone" by ancient Greek playwright Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Creon demands unquestioning obedience in all personal and professional interactions. Antigone, his niece and future daughter-in-law, disobeys Creon by burying the body of her dead brother Polyneices. It is Antigone that Creon wants dead, not Theban Prince Haemon.
What do Creon's words suggest about his relationship with his son in 'Antigone'?
That he does not know or understand Haemonand that their interactions are infrequent is what Creon's words suggest about his relationship with his son in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Creon talks at instead of with everyone, including Haemon, his only surviving child and heir apparent. Previously, he hears but does not process Princess Ismene's comments on the deep love between Haemon and Antigone, Ismene's sister, Haemon's first cousin and bride-to-be and Creon's niece. His conversation after sentencing Antigone to death alienates Haemon in its insensitivity to Antigone's plight, Haemon's feelings and Theban suffering.
What threat does Haemon make in 'Antigone'?
That Antigone's death will bring about another'sdeath and that father and son never will see each other again are the threats made by Haemon in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Creon says that Princess Antigone will be executed. Prince Haemon, Antigone's betrothed, makes an effort to get Creon to change his mind. Creon does not understand that Haemon is foreshadowing his own death in saying that someone will die as a result of Antigone's death and that he never plans to be in his father's company ever again.
What are Haemon's threat and Creon's misinterpretation in 'Antigone'?
That Antigone's death will destroy another one's life is Haemon's threat and that the impact will be negative for Haemon's father is Creon's misinterpretation in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Creon plans to execute Princess Antigone, his niece and future daughter-in-law. He expects his son, Prince Haemon, to make an emotional and physical break with Antigone. But Haemon plans to take his life instead of spending one second more above ground with his father and without his bride-to-be.Additionally, Haemon says that Creon never will see him again. Creon misinterprets that to mean that Haemon will make sure that father and son never occupy the same place at the same time ever again. He does not realize that both are suicidal threats by Haemon.
Who is Megareus in Antigone?
He is son to Creon and Eurydice and brother to Haemon. He does not appear in Antigone because he died during the struggle between Polynices and Eteocles.
In Antigone does Haemon threaten his father as Creon thinks?
No. Haemon says to Creon, "...And dying she'll destroy--someone else," and Creon, blinded by his ego, automatically takes this as a threat to himself, when in reality his son is telling him that he, Haemon, will not survive his future bride's death.
