Maggots typically originate from flies that lay their eggs on decomposing organic matter. When a body is buried in a coffin, the natural decomposition process can attract flies, which may find their way into the coffin through small openings or cracks. Even if the coffin is sealed, larvae can sometimes be introduced through soil disturbances or during the burial process. Over time, as the coffin deteriorates, it may allow for the entry of flies and their eggs, leading to the presence of maggots.

How is Polyneices buried in 'Antigone'?

Above ground and under a layer of dust and then below ground are the ways in which Polyneices is buried in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Polyneices' body is supposed to receive a below-ground burial and proper, Theban-style funeral rites. But his uncle, Theban King Creon, issues a royal edict by which Thebans who die attacking their hometown are denied their god-given rights to below-ground burials and funeral rites. Princess Antigone, Polyneices' sister, therefore decides to break the law and bury her brother. But she can only give her brother a partial burial, by which the body is covered with a layer of dust and anointed with sacred liquid from a special ewer. Ultimately, Creon approves a below-ground burial for Polyneices once he realizes that the suffering that he so heartlessly inflicts on Thebans is coming back to him.
