It is by attempting to bury her brother despite posted guards that Antigone is caught dusting Polyneices' bodyin "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, Polyneices' body is left above ground instead of being honored with the below-ground burial promised by the gods to all Thebans. Theban Princess Antigone does not have the strength to bury her brother other than partially, which involves covering all body parts with a layer of dust. She does so once before guards are posted to prevent such acts and again afterwards, at which point she is arrested in the act.

Theban Princess Antigone's brother Polyneices is being denied these rights by a law recently issued by Antigone's uncle, King Creon. Antigone plans to give Polyneices a below-ground burial if her sister Ismene helps or a partial burial if Ismene refuses. Either way, Polyneices' body will be considered buried in compliance with Theban traditions.
