Worthy in terms of Antigone, proud in therms of the chorus, despicable in terms of Creon is the way to describe Polyneices' character in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).

Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone characterizes her brother Polyneices as worthy of receiving every god-given right to which he is entitled as a Theban royal born and bred. In contrast, the chorus and King Creon describe Polyneices differently. The chorus indicates that Polyneices is the proud prince who brings bloodshed and division to his own hometown of Thebes. Creon mentions that his nephew is not worthy to share below ground space with any loyal, worthy Theban such as Polyneices' twin brother Eteocles.
