The point of view of Sophocles [496 B.C.E.* - 406 B.C.E.] may be found in the words of the Chorus Leader. At first, Sophocles therefore appears to suggest that Theban King Creon's law against the burial of Polyneices may be a good law. Creon says, 'Side not with the breakers of these commands'. The Chorus Leader replies, 'No man is so foolish that he is enamored of death'. But this response is two-edged. The Chorus Leader actually doesn't say that he approves of Creon's law. Teiresias talks to the King about the birds fighting each other. This is something that never has happened before. The Chorus Leader traces the cause of the bird fights to their beginning to eat Polyneices' body. The Chorus Leader therefore advises the King to let Polyneices be buried after all. *Before the Christian Era
