Answer:

Eurydice responds to her son's death by killing herself.

Step-by-step explanation:

In Greek mythology, Eurydice was the wife of Creon, king of Thebes. The character of Eurydice appears briefly in the tragedy Antigone of Sophocles (as the archetype of an afflicted mother, complementing that of Antigone herself), where she ends her life after discovering by an emissary that her son Haemon had killed himself. Upon hearing this news, Eurydice sticks a sword in her heart.
