A dust storm happens immediately before Theban Princess Antigone is detected alongside the body of Polyneices in the play "Antigone" by ancient Greek playwright Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).

Specifically, the guards remove the dust of a previous partial burial to the body of Polyneices, in Episode 2. They then sit down on the brow of a nearby hill. AT midday a dust storm arises, and the guards see nothing until the whirlwind passes. At that point, Antigone is seen heading towards her brother's corpse, which she re-buries with dust and which she anoints with ritual liquid from a bronze ewer.
