Eurydice of Thebes
In Greek mythology, Eurydice (Greek: Εὐρυδίκη) was the wife of Creon, a king of Thebes. She appears briefly in Sophocles' Antigone, to kill herself after learning, from a messenger, that her son Haemon and his betrothed, Antigone, have both committed suicide. 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.
