That they support her but are afraid is what Antigone says about the people of Thebes and what they think about the situation in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone buries her brother Polyneices. This is in compliance with divine will and Theban traditions but in contradiction of her uncle King Creon's illegal edict of non-burial. Antigone says that Theban support her in word and deed and oppose Creon but are too afraid to show their opposition.

Readers can sympathize with Antigone because of her compassion. Antigone doesn't see the ties of blood, love, and respect as ending with life. She asserts that she has no chance of having another brother, because both her parents are dead.Antigone also considers that she will spend much more time dead than alive. So she must think of how she treats death and the dead. She feels the additional responsibility of being the great great great granddaughter of Cad mus, who founded the city of Thebes in about 2000 B.C.E.; and the great great great great great granddaughter of Poseidon, the sea god.With such an ancestry, it isn't surprising that she wants to be in compliance with the enduring legacy of the gods, and the equally enduring traditions of Thebes' founder.

How many people died at Antigone?
In the beginning of the Antigone play there are the two brothers that died in battle against one another. Polyneices and Eteocles whom are the brothers of Antigone and Ismene. Towards the end of the play Antigone commits suicide by hanging herself with her halter after being isolated in a chamber by Creon (her uncle i think). After seeing Antigone dead, Haemon (Haimon - who loves Antigone) commits suicide by stabbing himself in the side with his own sword. Once the messenger spreads the word of Haemon's death his mother, Eurydice, commits suicide while cursing her husband Creon's name. I believe she stabbed herself in the heart. Ismene should still be alive at the end of the play all though they do not really say if she is or not. -Five people total die in Antigone that I know of.
