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.

That Antigone prefers to respect the eternal commands of the gods for below ground burials and funeral services for all Thebans and that Ismene prefers to respect her uncle's blasphemous law that denies such rights to the disloyal Theban dead are the reasons why the sisters quarrel as the play 'Antigone' by Sophocles [496 B.C.E. - 406 B.C.E.] opens.
