That the disloyal Theban dead will be treated as any enemy dead is Creon's declaration after the battle for control of Thebes in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, Theban King Creon makes an announcement the day after the final battle in the first civil war over the Theban royal succession. He notes that the disloyal Theban dead will be left in the same unburied condition as any enemy dead. He says that the god-given rights of all Thebans to below ground burials will be honored only in the case of Theban loyalists.
Thebes is the place where Antigone is born in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone is a royal. She is born in the royal palace of Thebes. Thebes is located in central Greece.
Creon's declaration after the battle for control of Thebes establishes his authority and sets the tone for his rule. He prioritizes loyalty to the state by declaring that Eteocles, who fought for Thebes, will be honored with a proper burial, while Polynices, who fought against the city, will be left unburied as punishment. This decision ignites conflict, particularly with Antigone, who believes in the divine law of honoring the dead. Creon's actions ultimately highlight themes of power, loyalty, and the consequences of rigid governance.

Medea is not a character in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Princess Medea does not overlap with Theban Princess Antigone. She nevertheless does visit Thebes as the invited guest of Hercules, Creon's father-in-law and the husband of Antigone's first cousin Megara. But she ends up being hated and chased out of Thebes whereas Antigone earns the admiration of all Thebes for all time.

Thebes is where Antigone lives. It's her hometown. But before the action of the play 'Antigone', she leaves Thebes with her disgraced father, Theban King Oedipus. They travel around in humiliating, miserable exile until they reach Colonus. That's where Oedipus dies. That's when Antigone comes back home.
