Another quote that proves this part is when the Cyclops yells, “Nohbdy, Nohbdy’s tricked me.
Creon: The people of Thebes? Since when do I take my orders from the people of Thebes? I am king, and responsible only to myself. I have made my decision, that deceitful girl will die. Haemon: Oh father, I could call you mad, were you not my father.
