Question

Hubris affects the plot of Sophocles's Antigone mainly through the character of Creon. Which lines in this excerpt from the play highlight the nature of his hubris?
TEIRESIAS:
And wronged the nether gods by leaving here
A corpse unlaved, unwept, unsepulchered.
Herein thou hast no part, nor e'en the gods
In heaven; and thou usurp'st a power not thine.
For this the avenging spirits of Heaven and Hell
Who dog the steps of sin are on thy trail:
What these have suffered thou shalt suffer too.
And now, consider whether bought by gold
I prophesy.'
