That he deserves his funeral honors is what Antigone says about Eteocles in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone does not criticize her dead brother Eteocles. She describes his below ground burial as his due. She characterizes him as worthy of the full military honors conferred on him as part of the Theban style funeral rites.

Antigone, Ismene, Polyneices, and Eteocles
Antigone's brother, Eteocles, is awarded the honor of a proper burial; unlike his brother, Polyneices, who is abandoned and left for dogs and vultures.
That she seeks to honor Polyneices in the same way as Eteocles is the way in which Creon says that Antigone's act dishonors the latter in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, all Thebans have divine guarantees to below-ground burials and funeral rites. But Theban King Creon denies these rights to Polyneices, who dies attacking Thebes, at the same time that he honors them for Eteocles, who dies defending Thebes. Princess Antigone, Creon's niece and Eteocles' and Polyneices' sister, wants the rights of both brothers honored regardless of how they die.

Antigone, Ismene, Eteocles, and Polynices
"Ee-tee-oh-keez" is the way in which the name "Eteocles" is pronounced in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Eteocles is the son of disgraced Theban monarchs Oedipus and Jocasta. He is the twin brother of Polyneices and the elder brother of the Princesses Antigone and Ismene. Eteocles is succeeded as King of Thebes by his Uncle Creon until his son Laodamas is old enough to rule.
That she is their sister is the way in which Antigone ties into the situation with Eteocles and Polyneices in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone is the devoted, loving one of the two younger sisters to the twin brothers Eteocles and Polyneices. She knows that disrespect to the dead comes back to haunt the perpetrator in this life and the next. She loves both her brothers and considers them worthy of all their rights as Thebans.
