Antigone Scene 1 & Ode 1

1. Who is the new King of Thebes? Creon, brother-in-law to Oedipus, is the new king of Thebes.

2. How did the new King of Thebes claim heir to the throne? Creon is the brother-in-law of the previous king, Oedipus. When Oedipus’ two sons were killed in battle, Creon was the next male in line for the throne.

3. What crime has Polynices committed in the opinion of the king? Since Polynices broke his exile and attacked the city of Thebes, Creon considers Polynices a traitor.

4. What news does the sentry bring to Creon? Someone has secretly covered the body of Polynices with just enough dirt to be considered as buried by the gods. His soul will now move to the underworld.

5. How was it decided which of the sentries would bring the news about Polynices to Creon? Since this is terrible bad news, no one wants to tell the king. The sentries end up throwing dice to decide who will tell Creon.

6. How does Creon believe the act of burying Polynices was carried out? Creon believes that the sentries were paid off by his enemies and they were bribed to bury Polynices’ body.

7. What does Creon demand that the sentry do? King Creon demands that the sentry bring him the man who broke his decree and buried a traitor.
