7 0

Creon's decree that Polyneices and other rebels should not be given a proper burial according to Greek religious custom is a direct violation of the will of the gods. Antigone is determined to follow the will of the gods (remember, she was born to a cursed family and knows the penalty the gods can exact for attempting to usurp their authority over mortals).
<span>Teiresias is motivated to warn Creon because he "sees" that the gods are angered and are going to destroy him if he follows through with his arrogant and willful (see: hubris) course of action.</span>
