Help her bury their brother is what Antigone wants Ismene to do in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, Polyneices' body is denied its divinely guaranteed right to below-ground burial and funeral rites. Princess Antigone, Polyneices' younger sister, decides that she will brave the royal edict of non-burial of the disloyal dead in the recent civil war over the royal succession. She asks for help from her sister Ismene in the hopes of giving Polyneices a below-ground burial. Without Ismene's help, she will have to give Polyneices a partial burial, whereby the body is left above ground but covered completely with a layer of dust.
