Theban King Creon issued a decree for Eteocles and Polyneices, who were his nephews and Antigone's brothers. The decree allowed Eteocles to receive proper funerary procedures since he was loyal to Thebes in the battle against Argos. At the same time, the decree denied those same god-given rights to Polyneices, who was disloyal to Thebes in the conflict.

What does Creon think about Antigone's brothers in 'Antigone'?
That one is worthless and the other is worthwhile is what Creon thinks about Antigone's brothers in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Creon expresses different feelings towards his twin nephews. He feels that Eteocles is a worthwhile person who deserves to be buried below ground. But he is so antagonist towards Polyneices that he denies him his god-given rights as a Theban to a below ground burial.
