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

What is Antigone's view of life in 'Antigone'?
Controlled by fate, dominated by the gods and eclipsed by death is Antigone's view of life in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone believes that the life of each mortal is custom designed by the Furies of fate. She concludes that the all knowing and powerful gods rule in life and in death. She feels that life is brief and dominated by the far greater part of human existence being spent in the Underworld of the afterlife.
How does Sophocles view Antigone and burials in 'Antigone'?
That god-given rights need to be respected and that conflict between divine and royal will does not mean disrespectful behavior towards a royal are how Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.) views Antigone's actions and burials in "Antigone."Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone is correct in defending god-given rights of all Thebans to below ground burials. She is incorrect in speaking disrespectfully to her uncle, King Creon, even though he is in the wrong. Even when in the wrong, royals must be treated respectfully since they are the gods' representatives on earth.
