Insults followed by reluctant acceptance is Creon's response to Teiresias' advice in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, Theban King Creon issues the turns Theban rights to below-ground burials and funeral rites into differentially applied privileges. Birds and dogs therefore eat the flesh and drink the blood of the unburied dead. Teiresias the blind prophet tells Creon to bury his nephew Polyneices and to free his niece Antigone, whom he sentences to death for burying his brother. Creon accuses Teiresias of being paid to say what he says and refuses to reverse his acts until counseled to do so by the chorus leader.

What advice does Ismene give to Antigone in 'Antigone'?
That she must not break the law but to be secretive if she does break it is the advice given by Ismene to Antigone in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Ismene believes in respecting the laws of her uncle, King Creon. She therefore does not want to break his law of non-burial of the Theban dead by burying her brother Polyneices. When she realizes that her sister Antigone is intent upon breaking the law, Ismene then recommends that the law-breaking be carried out as secretly as possible.
How does Haemon respond when Creon says that he will see Antigone die in 'Antigone'?

How is Antigone's defiance of Creon an ironic response in 'Antigone'?
That the king is the earthly representative of the godsis the reason why Antigone's defiance of Creon is ironic in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, an ironic response includes one whose implications far exceed what is intended and understood by its doer. The description is an exact fit with Theban Princess Antigone's defiance of King Creon, her uncle, king and intended father-in-law. In terms of all three relationships, Antigone owes respect to Creon as her superior and the gods' earthly representative in Thebes. She shows none even though she claims to respect and defend the gods.
