because he thought that he would bring news
Theban King Creon questions the correctness of his actions only during his meeting with Teiresias the blind prophet. At first, he doesn't like the answers that Teiresias gives him. So he insults and threatens the prophet. The prophet finally reciprocates by warning Creon of dire days of grief, misery, and unbearable pain ahead. Creon quickly realizes that his household and his job are at stake. At that point, he backs down from his stubborn demands of obedience to his every will or death.
Creon is Jocasta's brother.
Creon suspects Ismene of being Antigone's accomplice in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Creon decides to honor divinely ordained burial and funeral rites only for some Thebans and deny them to others. Princess Antigone, his niece and future daughter-in-law, goes ahead and buries her brother Polyneices even though he is on the no burial list. Creon thinks that Antigone does not act alone and therefore accuses her sister Ismene of aiding and abetting in the disobedience.
