Those of royals in Thebes of the thirteenth century B.C.E. are the social standards in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.0.

Specifically, the phrase social standards describes models based on consent and custom. The customs may be represented by Theban Princess Antigone's commitment to the old ways of divine will, family ties, fateful prophecies, and Theban traditions. Consent ironically may be seen in King Creon, who rules with the consent of the gods. He also represents transition to a more modern society of the impersonal state and novel laws.
