That those who fight against Thebes will not find their god-given rights to below-ground burials and proper funeral rites honored is the announcement that Creon makes in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).

Specifically, Theban King Creon wants no excuse of ignorance of the law. He makes sure that everyone inside the palace knows of the provisions of his edict of non-burial of the disloyal Theban dead. He then makes a similar announcement outside the palace to the chorus of Theban elders.
