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.
