Sentry
The sentry brings news that the body of Polyneices has had dust spread over it so that it may pass safely through to the underworld. Creon is overtaken with rage and tells the messenger that if he doesn't find who did this than he would be killed.
The guard and sentry report it to him.
But the sentry does go - twice - to Creon in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Creon assigns sentries to guard the unburied bodies of the disloyal Theban dead. One of the bodies gets a partial burial under a layer of dust. The sentry reluctantly reports the first violation and comes back with the perpetrator on his second interaction with Creon.

Antigone. Sentry sees Antigone bury her brother, Polyneices, and is appalled. He takes her to Creon who says that is Antigone is involved in this crime, her sister, Ismene must be following too!
It is fear of false blame and undeserved punishment that makes the sentry afraid to tell Creon about Polyneices' burial in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the sentry is acquainted with Theban King Creon's narrow sense of right and wrong. He knows that Creon considers breaking his law wrong and punishing the offender right. He also knows that Creon may punish the bearer of bad news if there is no other person in sight to blame.
