That the disloyal Theban dead remain unburied, that Antigone be buried alive and that Ismene be released are Creon's orders in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, Theban King Creon orders that the disloyal Theban dead be denied the god-given rights of all Thebans to below-ground burials. He orders that Antigone be sentenced to death once he finds that she deliberately buries the body of Polyneices, her brother and Creon's nephew. He orders that Ismene be spared from punishment since he does not believe her story of co-participation in Antigone's crime.
