A law that only respects the rights of the loyal dead to god given burial and funerary procedures is what Theban King Creon passes. Previously, all Thebans are guaranteed by the gods of below ground burials and funeral services. Creon decides to punish in death those Thebans who die disloyal to their hometown in the recent civil war between Creon's nephews, Kings Eteocles and Polyneices.
