Antigone was written in a time of intense emotion, Philosophy was becoming increasingly well known and because of this a war broke out between Athens and Sparta - Peloponnesian War.
Was its creation influenced by any specific events?
I wasn't able to find any information about this but there was a play going on which had a character like Creon, who put all his power before his family meanwhile Antigone showed compassion and kindnesss.
