Which crime does the sentry bring to Creon's attention in 'Antigone'?
Disobedience of a royal edict and therefore disrespect to a Theban king are the crimes that the sentry brings to Creon's attention in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the sentry is supposed to make sure that the bodies of the disloyal dead from the recent civil war over the royal successioin are left exposed to the ravages of the weather and wildlife. He tells Theban King Creon of finding the partially buried body of Polyneices, Creon's nephew and enemy who dies while killing his loyal brother Eteocles. This is in direct defiance of Creon's edict of burial of the loyal dead and non-burial of the disloyal. The crime of defiance is compounded by the concomitant crime of disrespect to the king, a serious offense in the eyes of gods and mortals.

Antigone's crime is violation of a manmade decree that's enacted and enforced by her uncle, Theban King Creon.

But according to the decree of her uncle, Theban King Creon, the deed was forbidden and punishable by death.

What is Creon's crime in 'Antigone'?
Theban King Creon's crime is his violation of divine laws. The gods, from whom he's descended by way of his ancestor Cadmus, say that with death, all Thebans are eligible for below ground burials and funeral services. Creon decides to respect those god given rights only for those who die loyal to Thebes in the recent civil war against discontented Thebans and invading Argives. That means that he denies god given rights to those who die disloyal to their hometown. It simply isn't a call that he gets to make.
