What does Creon decree regarding Eteocles?
That Eteocles will be allowed complete and proper burial procedures and rites is what Theban King Creon decrees for his nephew. Eteocles dies in a recent armed challenge to his right to the Theban throne. The challenge is issued by Eteocles' twin brother Polyneices and a joint army of discontented Thebans and invading Argive. Polyneices dies in the struggle. The Thebans win, and Creon makes an unusual decision about burial of the dead. He says that only those who die loyal to Thebes will see their god given rights to proper burial honored. Those who die disloyal to Thebes will be left to the disrespectful workings of weather and wildlife.
Who are Eteocles and Polyneices in 'Antigone'?
Twin brothers and heirs to the Theban throne is what Eteocles and Polyneices are in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Eteocles and Polyneices are the eldest sons of disgraced Theban monarchs Oedipus and Jocasta. But their parents' humiliation do not prevent Eteocles and Polyneices from inheriting the crown and throne of Thebes. The problem is that Eteocles does not like to share and refuses to hand over royal powers when his year of rule is up.
