Creon (Greek myth)

Creon (/ˈkriːɒn/; Ancient Greek: Κρέων, romanized: Kreōn, lit.  'ruler' ) may refer to three different characters:


 * Creon, king of Thebes and brother of Jocasta.
 * Creon, king of Corinth and father of Creusa, the bride of Jason.
 * Creon, the Thespian son of Heracles by an unnamed daughter of King Thespius of Thespiae. Creon and his 49 half-brothers were born of Thespius' daughters who were impregnated by Heracles in one night, for a week or in the course of 50 days while hunting for the Cithaeronian lion. Later on, the hero sent a message to Thespius to keep seven of these sons and send three of them in Thebes while the remaining forty, joined by Iolaus, were dispatched to the island of Sardinia to found a colony.
