It is through her capture that Creon finds out about Antigone in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, Theban King Creon forbids the burial of any disloyal Theban dead. His niece, Princess Antigone, deliberately disobeys her uncle and buries her brother Polyneices under a layer of dust. Antigone disrespects her uncle and his law so she wants to be caught and sentenced. She gets what she wants because Creon's sentries see her openly breaking the law in broad daylight and take her to the palace for interrogation and sentencing.
