Answer:

Tiresias tells him that as he refuses to bury Polynices and his punishment of Antigone for the same reason, god will curse people of Thebes. On hearing this, Creon calls him a false prophet and refuse to list to his advice.

Step-by-step explanation:

In ''The Oedipus Plays'', Tiresias is the blind soothsayer of Thebes. Creon decided that he will listen to Teiresias’s advice as he owes so much to his past advice. Tiresias tells him that as he refuses to bury Polynices and his punishment of Antigone for the same reason, god will curse people of Thebes. On hearing this, Creon calls him a false prophet and refuse to list to his advice.
