Above ground and under a layer of dust and then below ground are the ways in which Polyneices is buried in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, Polyneices' body is supposed to receive a below-ground burial and proper, Theban-style funeral rites. But his uncle, Theban King Creon, issues a royal edict by which Thebans who die attacking their hometown are denied their god-given rights to below-ground burials and funeral rites. Princess Antigone, Polyneices' sister, therefore decides to break the law and bury her brother. But she can only give her brother a partial burial, by which the body is covered with a layer of dust and anointed with sacred liquid from a special ewer. Ultimately, Creon approves a below-ground burial for Polyneices once he realizes that the suffering that he so heartlessly inflicts on Thebans is coming back to him.
