That she will bury her brother is Antigone's decision in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone sets in motion a series of decisions when she decides that she will bury her brother Polyneices. In so doing, she decides to obey a divine law and disobey a royal edict. She then decides not to be nice to Creon and thereby to make sure of receiving the death sentence for her crime.
