In Greek mythology, Haemon was the son of Creon and Eurydice of Thebes. Sources disagree sharply: Apollodorus and the Oedipodea have the Sphinx kill him; Sophocles' Antigone makes him Antigone's fiancé, who kills himself when she dies; other tragedies and Hyginus give still other endings. Distinct from the Pylian warrior Haemon named in Nestor's host.

I.Conflicting fates
Haemon is counted among Creon's children alongside Menoeceus (Megareus), Lycomedes, Megara, and others in the genealogical lists. In Apollodorus and the epic Oedipodea he is among the Sphinx's victims before Oedipus solves the riddle — a short, early death that never reaches the Antigone story.
Sophocles' Antigone makes him Antigone's betrothed. When Creon entombs her alive for burying Polynices, Haemon finds her hanged and falls on his sword; Eurydice then kills herself. Euripides' Antigone instead has the pair marry and produce a son Maeon; in his Phoenician Women Antigone breaks the engagement. Hyginus records that Creon murders their child, after which Haemon kills Antigone and himself.
II.Homonym
The atlas keeps Theban Haemon (id haemon) distinct from haemon-pylian, the lesser Homeric fighter arrayed with Nestor's host — same name, different house and fate.
