That god-given rights need to be respected and that conflict between divine and royal will does not mean disrespectful behavior towards a royal are how Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.) views Antigone's actions and burials in "Antigone."
Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone is correct in defending god-given rights of all Thebans to below ground burials. She is incorrect in speaking disrespectfully to her uncle, King Creon, even though he is in the wrong. Even when in the wrong, royals must be treated respectfully since they are the gods' representatives on earth.

Why does Antigone defy royal laws in 'Antigone'?
That they contradict divine laws and Thebantraditions is the reason why Antigone defies royal laws in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, it is the royal edict on non-burial that Theban Princess Antigone defies. Divinely guaranteed rights of all Thebans to below-ground burials are honored for Theban loyalists and denied to King Creon's perceived enemies. Disobeying the royal law involves obeying the divine, which is what Antigone chooses to do.
Does Antigone do the right thing by burying her brother in 'Antigone'?
Yes, Antigone is right about burying Polyneices in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Thebans are guaranteed by the gods of below ground burials. Below ground burials are part of Theban traditions. They express respect for family and reverence for the gods. It is disgusting for dead Thebans to be left lying above ground and exposed to ravaging weather and scrounging wildlife. It also is vindictive since the dead so exposed must seek entry as disfigured, dismembered entities into the Underworld of the afterlife.
