It is the non-burial decree that Creon issues in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, Theban King Creon decides to differentiate between Thebans who are disloyal and loyal during the first civil war over the Theban royal succession. He does so legally. He issues an edict whereby the god-given rights of all Thebans to below ground burials are denied to the disloyal Theban dead.

She does not mention that her uncle King Creon rules as a usurper of the royal powers of the now deceased twin brothers Eteocles and Polyneices. So a curse may be at work but so is Creon's attempt to consolidate his rule and discredit the true heir's son and supporters.
