I would say Creon.


Hubris refers to excessive pride and self-confidence, which Creon exhibits in abundance. He put himself above gods, and his own civil laws above religious laws, which sparked the entire tragedy in this play. If it weren't for his hubris, then Antigone wouldn't have had to fight for her brother's righteous funeral, and everybody would still be alive. But then this wouldn't be a famous tragedy.

Sophocles primarily develops the element of hubris through Creon, when he tries to control matters that only the gods have the right to govern.

The term hubris refers to a personality characterized by extreme pride and arrogance, which generally leads to defiance or disobedience against the gods. In the play, Creon places himself above gods, and his own civil laws over religious laws, giving way to tragedy.

Creon is a figure in Greek mythology best known as the ruler of Thebes in the legend of Oedipus.
