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.
Antigone is the character that is arrested for burying Polynices. She asks Creon to arrest her, and at first he refuses.

Give him a proper burial and Theban-stylefuneral rites is what Antigone plans to do with Polyneices in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the gods guarantee all Thebans of below-ground burials and funeral rites. Theban Princess Antigone's brother Polyneices is being denied these rights by a law recently issued by Antigone's uncle, King Creon. Antigone plans to give Polyneices a below-ground burial if her sister Ismene helps or a partial burial if Ismene refuses. Either way, Polyneices' body will be considered buried in compliance with Theban traditions.
