Haemon

In Greek mythology, Haemon ("bloody") (or Haimon) was the son of Creon and Eurydice.When Oedipus stepped down as King of Thebes, he gave the kingdom to his two sons, Eteocles and Polynices, who both agreed to alternate the throne every year. However, they showed no concern for their father, who cursed them for their negligence. After the first year, Eteocles refused to step down and Polynices attacked Thebes with his supporters of the Argive (the Seven Against Thebes). Both brothers died in the battle. King Creon, who ascended to the throne of Thebes, decreed that Polynices was not to be buried. Antigone, his sister, defied the order, but was caught. Creon decreed that she was to be thrown into a a stone room with a days worth of food, – in spite of the fact that she was betrothed to his son, Haemon. The gods, through the blind prophet  Tiresias, expressed their disapproval of Creon's decision, which convinced him to rescind his order, and he went to bury Polynices. However, Antigone had already hanged herself rather than be buried alive. When Creon arrived at the tomb where she was to be interred, his son, Haemon, threatens him and tries to kill him but ends up taking his own life. When Creon's wife, Eurydice, was informed of Haemon's death she took her own life out of grief.

[Greek heroic] The son of Creon, and betrothed of Antigone. His bride was sentenced to death because she disobeyed Creon's orders by leaving Eteocles' body alone. She performed a ceremonial burial -- a simple sprinkling of dust over the body -- but was apprehended by the guards, and taken before Creon, who decrees that she will herself be buried by being sealed in a cave. Haemon protests her sentence and lectures his father on wise leadership. Creon refuses to change his mind. When the prophet Tiresias informs Creon that the gods are angry with his pronouncement concerning Polynices, he finally relents, but too late. When the cave is opened to retrieve Antigone, she has already hung herself. In his grief and anger, Haemon tries to kill Creon. He fails, and then kills himself instead.
