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.

At first, the chorus believes in Oedipus rather than Creon.This section can be found on pg.186-7 published by Penguin Classics. Fate is what chorus believes.
Yes, he does.
The turning point in Antigone is when Creons son, Haimon, dies. Creon shows remorse and compassion for the first time, but most importantly he takes responsibility for his actions and is able to admit to himself that Haimons death is his fault. Creon is a dynamic character, he changes greatly throughout the play and by the end he is able to accept that his own mortality is enevitable and that family comes before fortune.
Having an open interaction with his people is why Theban King Oedipus insists on letting all Thebans hear Theban King Creon's news. Creon comes back with news of how to end the pestilence that wreaks havoc on the city's people, livestock and harvests. Creons wants to step inside the palace, to give the news first to his colleague, and then afterwards to the Theban people. Oedipus wants everyone to hear at the same time.
