He listens to Tiresias who told Creon to think of what he has done.
Oedipus accuses Creon of bribing Tiresias in an effort to take the crown.
What does Creon tells Tiresias that the gods were not pleased with his decision of not burying his brother Polyneices.

Oedipus is outraged at Tiresias' prophecy. He thinks Tiresias is lying to him and was "put up" to telling him that by Creon. Oedipus is so furious with Tiresias, that in the process he pushes Tiresias into making another prophecy (more of a premonition) that Oedipus will be blind.

The seer's name is Tiresias. He tells Creon that if Creon does not follow the laws of the gods and refuse to bury Antigone's brother, then Creon's own son will die.
In "Antigone," Tiresias serves as a prophet who warns Creon about the consequences of his actions in refusing to bury Polynices. Tiresias predicts that the gods will punish Creon for his hubris, leading to the deaths of his son and wife. Tiresias' prophecy ultimately proves true, highlighting the theme of divine justice and the limits of human power.

Tiresias believes Creon has separated them from the gods due to Creon not burying the body of Polynecies. Antigone was written by Sophocles.
Basically he tells Creon, that by punishing Antigone for burying her brother against his (Creon's) order, but in accordance with divine law, that Creon is really upsetting the gods and they are going to punish him.
Oedipus doesn't believe Tiresias, even when Tiresias spells the truth out to him; he calls him a liar and claims that he is in league with Creon for the throne.
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.
