Pestilence is the new calamity brought by Creon to Thebes according to Teresias in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, birds consume the blood and flesh of the unburied bodies of the disloyal Theban dead. They drop pieces of bloody flesh on the altars, which are left an oozing, smelly mess. They so pollute the altars that divine will cannot be interpreted as well as the streets that pestilence threatens all Thebes. These calamities trace back to Theban King Creon's refusal to honor for the unburied bodies of the disloyal Theban dead their god-given rights as Thebans to below-ground burials.
