Polyneicesis buried by Antigone because he is her brother and she wants to be able to look him in the face in the Underworld of the afterlife in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, divine law guarantees below-ground burials and funeral rites to all Thebans. Polyneices' body is left above ground and exposed to the weather and wildlife because of an illegal edict by his uncle, Theban King Creon. Antigone decides to break the law, bury her brother, and count on being accepted instead of shunned by her family in her post-mortem existence.
