Hyginus Fabulae, 72 antigona.
Creon Menoecei filius edixit ne quis Polynicen aut qui una uenerunt sepulturae traderent, quod patriam oppugnatum uenerint; Antigona soror et Argia coniunx clam noctu Polynicis corpus sublatum in eadem pyra qua Eteocles sepultus est imposuerunt.
Quae cum a custodibus deprehensae essent, Argia profugit, Antigona ad regem est perducta; ille eam Haemoni filio cuius sponsa fuerat dedit interficiendam. Haemon amore captus patris imperium neglexit et Antigonam ad pastores demandauit, ementitusque est se eam interfecisse.
quae cum filium procreasset et ad puberem aetatem uenisset, Thebas ad ludos uenit; hunc Creon rex quod ex draconteo genere omnes in corpore insigne habebant cognouit. cum Hercules pro Haemone deprecaretur ut ei ignosceret, non impetrauit; Haemon se et Antigonam coniugem interfecit.
at Creon Megaram filiam suam Herculi dedit in coniugium, ex qua nati sunt Therimachus et Ophites.


Creon, son of Menoeceus, decreed that nobody should provide burial for Polyneices and his allies [in the assault of the Seven against Thebes]; this because they had come to assail the state. Antigone, Polyneices’ sister, and his wife Argia secretly by night placed Polyneices’ corpse upon the same pyre where Eteocles was laid.
When these women were apprehended by watchmen, Argia fled but Antigone was led to the king; he gave her for execution to his son Haemon, to whom she had been betrothed. Haemon was smitten by his love and deferred his father’s command; he gave Antigone to shepherds for safe keeping and made up a story that she had been executed.
But when she had born a son and he had come of age, he came to participate in the games at Thebes. Creon recognized him because all descendants of the [Cadmean] dragon bore the sign on their body. When Hercules advocated for Haemon, that Creon should absolve him from guilt, he failed. Haemon committed suicide and killed his wife Antigone.
Creon, however, gave in marriage his own daughter Megara to Hercules and from her were born Therimachus and Ophites.
