What do the gods tell Creon the people of Thebes must do?

(Hope this helps can pls have brainlist (crown) ☺️)

Explanation:

Thebes has been plagued by an epidemic, and the inhabitants are dying, with no one knowing how to stop it. The murderer of Laius, who ruled Thebes before Oedipus, is at Thebes, Creon learns from the god Apollo, who spoke via the oracle. To put a stop to the disease, he must be pushed away.

After Oedipus killed his father and married his mother, Creon banished him from Thebes. Polyneices would not be given a proper burial since he had committed treason against his own city, according to Creon. Antigone is sentenced to death by Creon. He is Creon's son, Haemon.
