Antigone

She buries her brother Polyneices' body before guards are posted. She comes back to check on her work and is captured. The sentry escorts to be interrogated and sentenced by Creon.
He orders the sentry to find out who is burying polyneices because he had strict orders to not bury him. Then the sentry brings Creon's niece Antigone in and sentences her to death.

The Sentry brings Antigone before Theban King Creon. The Sentry previously tells the King of the illegal, partial burial of the corpse of Polyneices the traitor. The coating of dust is removed from the body, and the Sentry sets up guard over all of the corpses that are left above ground and exposed to the weather, the dogs, and the birds. Antigone comes back to check up on her brother's body. She finds her work undone, and starts to redo the appropriate rites and rituals. But she's stopped short, arrested, and brought before her uncle, the King.

Sentry
The guard and sentry report it to him.
But the sentry does go - twice - to Creon in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Creon assigns sentries to guard the unburied bodies of the disloyal Theban dead. One of the bodies gets a partial burial under a layer of dust. The sentry reluctantly reports the first violation and comes back with the perpetrator on his second interaction with Creon.
The Sentry Returns Because He Wants To Prove To Creon That He Didn't Bury Polyneices Body And That He's Innocent.
Fearful the first time and less so the second are the ways in which the sentry acts when he comes before Creon in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the sentry expresses fear when he explains that there is an unknown perpetrator breaking Theban King Creon's edict of non-burial of the disloyal Theban dead. He manifests fear when he identifies the partially buried body as that of Polyneices, Creon's nephew and challenger in the recent civil war over the Theban royal succession. He shows fear when he tells of the drawing of lots to determine which of the sentries gets to be the messenger of bad news to a temperamental royal.
