Why was polyneices to be left unburied
Season 4: Episode 5 "Dead and Unburied" About 10 minutes in.
Polyneices and the enemy dead are left unburied so that their corpses may be eaten by dogs in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, ancient Greeks tend to leave unburied the dead from the opposing side. This is done so that the body will be disfigured and divided into pieces and therefore not be intact when the dead seek to enter the Underworld of the afterlife. But at the same time, all Thebans have divine guarantees of below-ground burials and therefore are not to be left above ground regardless of whether they are loyal or disloyal to their hometown.
That they both have experiences with the unburied dead is the reason why Antigone refers to Niobe in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone confronts the pain of her brother Polyneices' unburied body. Niobe faces a similar pain when her children die. The bodies of Niobe's children remain unburied until divine intervention.
The dead were often left unburied on the Western Front due to the chaotic and dangerous conditions of trench warfare during World War I. Continuous shelling and the sheer scale of casualties made it difficult for soldiers to retrieve bodies safely. Additionally, the priority was often placed on immediate military objectives over burial, leading to many soldiers remaining unburied for extended periods, which also contributed to health risks from disease and the psychological toll on surviving troops.
Doubtful. If dead bodies could be reanimated the few unburied would be easily dispatched and the ones in there graves would be stuck there.

That they each offend a very important person, face divine curses and deal with unburied Theban dead are reasons why Antigone compares herself to Niobe in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone must decide what to do about an unburied dead brother. Lydian Princess Niobe, wife of Theban wall builder Amphion, must deal with her unburied dead children. Their predicaments are aggravated by divine curses and offensive attitudes and behaviors towards very important people. For example, Antigone offends Creon, her uncle and her sovereign, while Niobe is offensive to Leto, goddess and mother of Zeus' children Apollo and Artemis.
That when dead all Thebans are to receive below-ground burials and Theban-style funeral rites is the law of the gods in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the general practice is to leave the enemy dead unburied and exposed to ravaging weather and wildlife. It is a particularly cruel punishment to add to a fallen foe. It causes the unburied to seek entrance on a disfigured, dismembered basis into the Underworld of the afterlife. Thebans accept that general practice, but not if the enemy dead is a fellow Theban who therefore gets to be anointed and buried underground.
False. It was Eteocles' brother, Polyneices, that was supposed to be left unburied.
