Best Answer

Breaking the law and bragging about it is Antigone's double insolence in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).

Specifically, Theban King Creon interrogates Princess Antigone about the forbidden burial of her brother Polyneices. He is offended by Antigone's responses. He objects not only to her misdeed but also to her shameless confession of wrongdoing.
