Daily reminder Creon was right. Antigone was a traitor trying to honor someone who had tried to attack the city, her death was required by justice.

Putting private interest over the laws of the city would be to invite anarchy. That Creon put to death his son's betrothed only shows how incorruptible a ruler he was and that he only governed in the interest of the city during a time of emergency.
