That it is reeling from the end to the recent bloody civil war, the pollution from unburied bodies and the proclamation of a controversial royal edict is what happens to Thebes in the beginnning of "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, twin brothers Eteocles and Polyneices kill each other in the final battle of a civil war over the Theban royal succession. The battle is fought in and around Thebes. Theban King Creon decides to honor god-given rights of all Thebans to below-ground burials only in the case of Theban loyalists. He considers the disloyal Theban dead the same as enemies, whose bodies typically are left above ground for ravaging weather and foraging wildlife. The pollution from the unburied dead who are denied their divinely ordained rights becomes more and more pervasive and brutal in its effects as the play continues.
