That she has insider knowledge of the non-burialedict as well as physical knowledge of the unburied bodies in plain view is Antigone's evidence in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).

Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone has advance knowledge of the illegal royal edict of non-burial of the disloyal Theban dead. As a royal household member, she already knows what the edict's provisions and punishment are. Additionally, she sees that the bodies of the disloyal Theban dead are being denied their god-given rights to below ground burials. The bodies of her brother Polyneices and his fellow fighters stay above ground and exposed to ravaging weather and scrounging wildlife.
