While it is unknown whether or not dogs believe in God, due to our inability to communicate with them, it is doubtful that they have the reasoning ability to understand such concepts.

How does Creon disrespect the gods in 'Antigone'?

In 'Antigone', Theban King Creon disrespects the gods by overturning the time-honored burial practices. He decides that the rites and rituals of proper burial may be adhered only in regard to the loyal Theban dead. He refuses to allow the same adherence to proper burial procedure in regard to the enemy. Contrary to tradition and the interpreted will of the gods, the King requires the dead Argive enemy and their dead Theban allies to be left above ground and exposed to the elements, dogs, and birds.

What gods are in the text of 'Antigone'?

In the play 'Antigone' some of the gods specifically are mentioned by name. For example, reference is made to Aphrodite, Bacchus, Pallas, Persephone, Pluto, and Zeus. Other gods generally are mentioned by attribute. For example, the fire and war gods are mentioned by the particular quality for which they're consulted and worshipped.


Does the seer want Creon to bury Polyneices in 'Antigone'?

Yes, the seer wants Creon to bury Polyneices in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the birds that he uses in ritual sacrifices and dogs are eating the flesh of the unburied dead. The non-burial is offensive to the gods, who guarantee funeral services and below-ground burial to all Thebans. Additionally, interpreting divine will through ritual sacrifices cannot be done because the birds are contaminated by eating the flesh of dead bodies. This also is offensive to the gods, so the dead bodies need to be buried in the way the gods want them to be to Teiresias' way of thinking.
