Hi SB,
I have amended your piece as below. I assumed that it refers to how your father is now, as that is how it you describe him at the beginning. There are places where the tense needed changing to make that clear. I hope I have understood that correctly.

Ancient Greece was one of the most remarkable civilizations of ancient times. It represented an era in which people had great ideas about philosophy and literature. Moreover, there were many playwrights who were famous for their dramas. Sophecles was one of these, he is well known for his drama Antigone. I have noticed that my father is comparable to the character in the play, Creon. Like the king of Thebes, my father wants everyone in the family to obey him in what ever he says. He does not like anyone to disagree with the decisions that he makes, and it is hard to convince him that he is wrong.
Creon, the king of Thebes, has a strong character and this makes all the citizens obey him and his rules. For example, he ordered Polyneices not to be buried when he died, this was because he had ravaged the country and he had not fought on behalf [of who] . In the same way, my father wants every member of our family to obey him. For example, when my brothers do not study for their exams he becomes angry and shouts at them to study instead of playing. Both, my father and Creon like to control everything around them and to be respected.
As we know, the king Creon did not like any one to disagree with his decisions. When his son Haemon sided with Antigone and saw that his father was unjust, Creon became angry and said that he did not want anybody to tell him how to rule. Also Haemon asked his father not to be too rigid and to be more flexible. Similarly, my father does not like any of us to disagree with what he says. When my father took us on a tour and we did not like it, he felt angry. In addition we had to agree with him where to go because he thought he knew which would be the best place for us to go. Creon and my father both do not change the way they take decisions, and they do not care about other opinions.
Creon was also hard to convince, and he was so stubborn that he hardly ever changed his mind. When his son Haemon asked him to be flexible, he yelled and did not listen. Finally, he realised he had been wrong when the blind prophet told Creon that he had made two mistakes, the first mistake was when he did not bury Polyneices, and the second mistake was when he put Antigone inside the rocky vault. The gods were also mad about what he had done. Both my father and Creon have the same attributes. My father is really hard to convince, especially when I want to go out. For example, when I asked him for permission to go to my friend's house, he did not allow me to go. I asked my mother to convince him, and then he gave way. Like Creon, my father did not easily change his mind; he needed time to be convinced.
In conclusion, I have described some aspects of the similarity between the personality of Greon and that of my father. They both have a strong personality and they do not let anyone control them. Also, they have a unique character that makes them able to lead everyone around them. Creon was the king of Thebes and my father is the king in our home.
