How do the guards decide who will bring the news to Creon in 'Oedipus Rex'?

It is by drawing lots that the guards decide who will bring news to Creon in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the guards discover Polyneices' body partially buried under a layer of dust. Polyneices is considered a Theban traitor for attacking Thebes in an assertion of his legitimate claims to the Theban throne. The guards know that Theban King Creon will be upset by news of the body being buried and his non-burial edict being broken. They think of drawing lots as the way to choose the bearer of bad news to a hot-tempered royal.


How did the sentry know that is was antigone that buried polyneices?

The sentry recognized Antigone as the one who buried Polynices because he witnessed her performing the burial rites. After discovering the grave had been disturbed, the sentry set a trap to catch the culprit, and when Antigone returned to honor her brother, he apprehended her. Her defiant admission further confirmed her actions, as she openly acknowledged her role in the burial.


What happens to Antigone's and Ismene's family in the prologue to 'Antigone'?

One brother is buried and the other not is what happens to Antigone's and Ismene's family in the prologue to "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the Theban sister Princesses Antigone and Ismene meet outside the main entrance to the royal palace. Antigone needs to let her sister know what is happening now that the first civil war over the Theban royal succession is over. She refuses to stand idly by while their brother Polyneices's body is denied the below ground burial that is a divine guarantee for all Thebans.


Who told Creon that Antigone buried her brother?

The Sentry told Theban King Creon that Antigone had buried her brother, Polyneices. He had two conversations with the King. In the first conversation, he didn't know the identity of the burier. He just knew that Polyneices' corpse had been covered with a fine layer of dust and sprinkled with oil. In the second conversation, he identified Antigone, whom he had arrested for a second burial attempt and brought with him.


What news does the sentry bring on his first visit to Creon in 'Antigone'?

That Polyneices' body is buried and that the perpetrator is long gone is the news that the sentry brings on his first visit to Creon in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Creon denies to his perceived enemies their god-given rights as Thebans to below ground burials. He enforces his prohibition by a royal edict. He has guards posted immediately after making the edict public. But a sentry lets Creon know that his edict already is violated and that Creon's disgraced nephew Polyneices' body already is covered with a dusty layer that constitutes a partial burial.
