Theban King Creon issues a decree in response to the end of the armed struggle between the Thebans and the Argive enemy. He states that all those who remained loyal to Thebes will receive proper burial. Additionally, he says that all of the enemy Argive and disloyal Theban dead are to be denied the rites and rituals of proper burial. Instead, their bodies are to be left, above ground and exposed, for the workings of the elements and the gnawing of birds and dogs.

Ismene dislikes disobedience. She feels that her uncle, King Creon, must be respected as her guardian, ruler and uncle.
