That he deserves his Theban rights is Antigone's opinion of Polyneices in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, Polyneices is Theban Princess Antigone's brother. He is the legitimate heir to the Theban throne even though he loses his claim and his throne in the final battle of the first civil war over the Theban royal succession. His uncle, King Creon, leaves his body above ground even though all Thebans have god-given rights to below ground burials. Antigone says that Polyneices deserves a hero's burial every bit as much as the one that Creon gives to Eteocles.
