In Greek mythology Eurydice was the wife of Creon a king of Thebes. She appears briefly in Sophocles’ Antigone to kill herself after learning that her son Haemon and his betrothed Antigone had both committed suicide from a messenger. She thrusts a sword into her heart and curses Creon for the death of her two sons: Haemon and Megareus. Haemon killed himself because his father Creon had unjustly killed Antigone to whom he was engaged.
