Almost got everything but your missing some key parts. For example Creon buried polynices first then he went on to free Antigone then he discovered Antigone’s hanging body, and Haemon is seen weeping next to her, Haemon attacks creon then misses then he takes his own life. Also Eurydice cursed creon’s life for the gods to ran their wraith on him during her suicide. (This is all during exodus everything else is fine)
