In the myth Antigone by Sophocles?

Question

How does Haemon try to reason with his father?

Answer 1

Haemon tries to by various means. He starts off flattering him, saying he will obay him. He then suggests that the Theban citizens disagree with his father's decision, saying the girl does not deserve death. This doesn't work, and Haemon ends his attempt by becoming angry and criticising his father's ability as a ruler - he only seems to represent his people's wishes if they match with his own.

Answer 2

Hello dear!
What a question! In August I watched the play in Epidaurus! It is superb!
Well, Haemon is the median between the prompt family and the renovators! He is in between the correct and the divine!
He uses his heart, ethics, love to convince his father to alter his decision. Well, the decision is fine, according to all, except those who are superior people!
See today, examine all ages! People, all people, are worse than the Kind described by Sophocles! People kill without reason, while Kreon had passed this law beforehand! Kreon was not lucky, he could be among the good leaders/ kings, but he came opposite to the Athenian spirit! This is the same spirit that when they captured a messenger getting a letter from king Philip, who was attacking Athens, to another king, enemy of Athenians, they discussed and decided to feed the messenger and then let him proceed, without opening the letter! and all this 24 centuries ago! This is the honest and philosophical mind of those people! Of course, Sophocles, with Aeschylus, Thespis, Euripides, Agathon and all those on stage philosophers created the mind of the people of Athens to have the greatest political system!
