Death, non-burial and burial are what happen to Polyneices in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, Polyneices dies in the war over the Theban royal succession that takes place just before the play's opening scene. Theban King Creon initially refuses to honor Polyneices rights as a Theban born and bred to proper funeral services and below-ground burial. But as the horrors of pestilence and death as well as the hatred of his people grow, Creon ends up granting Polyneices' body his rights in full.
