In Greek mythology, Eurydice (/jʊəˈrɪdɪsi/; Ancient Greek: Εὐρυδίκη, Eὐrudíkē "wide justice", derived from ευρυς eurys "wide" and δικη dike "justice) sometimes called Henioche,[1] was the wife of Creon, a king of Thebes.
Eurydice was probably the mother of Creon's five children: Menoeceus (Megareus), Lycomedes, Haemon, Megara and Pyrrha.
Haemon killed himself because his father Creon had unjustly locked Antigone in a tomb to eventually perish, to whom he was engaged.
[3] The seer Tiresias predicts that if a son of Creon voluntarily throws himself off the wall, the city will be saved.
When his dead body was carried on the shoulders by a few people, Eurydice bursts through town in a wail of: Eventually, she was led away by friendly hands to the palace.
