In Sophocles' "Antigone," the guards manage to capture Antigone after she is caught burying her brother Polynices, defying King Creon's edict. Despite her earlier stealth, a guard discovers her performing the burial rites and, upon reporting back to Creon, he brings her before him as evidence of her defiance. Antigone acknowledges her actions and stands firm in her beliefs, even as the guards apprehend her.
That Antigone acts like a mother bird, curses and re-does the burial is what the guard reports.
the guards tricked Antigone into confessing.
Whether or not to bury in terms of Antigone and whether or not to arrest her in terms of the guards are the conflicts in the scene in which Antigone finds her brother not buried in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.D. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone must decide whether or not to rebury the body of her brother Polyneices. The guards must decide whether or not to let Antigone get away with burying the body. Then they must decide whether or not to capture her or let her go and brave King Creon's wrath.
The sentry explains the capture of Antigone by recounting how he and his fellow guards discovered her attempting to bury her brother Polynices, defying King Creon's edict. Despite initially fearing the consequences of failing to catch her, they ultimately apprehended her in the act, demonstrating her determination and defiance. The sentry conveys a mix of fear and respect for Antigone’s actions, illustrating the tension between personal duty and loyalty to the state.
Creon wants the guards to hurry to Antigone in the cave because Teiresias (the blind prophet) told him that two family members would die is Antigone did. So at that, Creon needed to save her.

Antigone does not tell the guards that her father is Oedipus in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. -- 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the guards have no need to be told of Antigone's identity or parentage. She is a Theban princess and bride-to-be of the heir apparent, Theban Prince Haemon. She therefore is immediately recognizable to all Thebans.

That guards are posted and that she does it in daylightare the reasons why Antigone is caught when she buries her brother in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Creon announces his edict of non-burial and posts guards around the unburied bodies of the disloyal Theban dead. His niece, Princess Antigone, checks upon her brother Polyneices' body in broad daylight. She goes through the burial and anointing once more and in plain view of the posted guards.

In a second attempt to bury her brother, Antigone is captured by Creon's guards in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Creon refuses to honor divinely ordained below-ground burial rights to the disloyal Theban dead. But Princess Antigone, his niece and intended daughter-in-law, decides to break her uncle's law and properly bury her brother Polyneices. She buries Polyneices, whose body is re-exposed by Creon's guards. The guards then catch her in the act of re-burying Polyneices' corpse.
