- Creon is talking to Teiresias and believes he only cares about gold than the truth. But Teiresias thinks that Creon only loves apparent beauty while neglecting things of true worth.

- "Then take this, and take it to heart! The time is not far off when you shall pay back. Corpse for corpse, flesh of your own flesh. You have thrust the child of this world into living night; You have kept from the gods below the child that is theirs:" (Teiresias 70-74)
