Sibling rivalry and personality clashes are the problems that Oedipus' children have in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, Oedipus' son Eteocles reneges on the royal power sharing arrangement by which he and his twin brother Polyneices are to alternate years of rule. They fight it out to their mutual deaths on the battlefield outside Thebes. Eteocles ends up being buried since his uncle Creon succeeds him as king. Creon does not feel bound to do things the way that they always have been done in Thebes. He therefore decides to treat Polyneices as a dead enemy and leave his body above ground and exposed to the weather and wildlife. Princess Antigone, his niece and Polyneices' sister, clashes with him on this point, to her own fatal detriment.
