The Gods cannot help save someone from poor decisions he/she has made.
Explanation:
Creon has committed a grave sin by the killing of his own kin partly because he wanted the throne and thus has brought ruin to his own people after the unknowing act of Oedipus and now his willingly killing of his own kin.
When he is repenting and praying to the god for forgiveness, it is through the character of Charagos that the authorial voice speaks and tells him something.
That is being told to him that he must pay for what he has done and he will not be forgiven
