Hubris affects the plot of Sophocles's Antigone mainly through the character of Creon. Which lines in this excerpt from the play highlight the nature of his hubris? TEIRESIAS: And wronged the nether gods by leaving here A corpse unlaved, unwept, unsepulchered. Herein thou hast no part, nor e'en the gods In heaven; and thou usurp'st a power not thine. For this the avenging spirits of Heaven and Hell Who dog the steps of sin are on thy trail: What these have suffered thou shalt suffer too. And now, consider whether bought by gold I prophesy.

The main excerpt that highlight the Hubris of his nature is:
“Herein thou hast no part, nor e'en"
In heaven; and thou usurps't a power not thine.“
It shows off the worldly power which is the most powerful tool or any of the almighty power. This is well explained in the play.
