That one will be buried and the other will not is Creon's proclamation concerning Oedipus' two sons in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, Theban King Creon decides that hatred for enemies must be carried over into death. He therefore decides to respect god-given rights of below-ground burials only for Theban loyalists such as Eteocles. At the same time, he decides to withhold them for perceived traitors such as Polyneices.
