Antagonistic is Antigone's attitude toward Creon's decree in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).

Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone has a negative attitude toward her uncle King Creon's edict of non-burial of the disloyal Theban dead. She is a believer in the old ways of cherished traditions, divine will and family ties. She opposes denying to enemies and granting to supporters god-given rights of all Thebans to below ground burials.
