Antigone, Ismene, Eteocles, and Polynices
Ismene refuses to help Antigone bury the body in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Ismene is the younger sister of Princess Antigone and of twin brothers Eteocles and Polyneices. Eteocles and Polyneices kill each other, and Eteocles receives a below-ground burial and proper funeral rites, both of which are denied to Polyneices. Antigone wants to bury Polyneices and will have to do so alone since Ismene refuses to help.

That he deserves his funeral honors is what Antigone says about Eteocles in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone does not criticize her dead brother Eteocles. She describes his below ground burial as his due. She characterizes him as worthy of the full military honors conferred on him as part of the Theban style funeral rites.

"Ee-tee-oh-keez" is the way in which the name "Eteocles" is pronounced in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Eteocles is the son of disgraced Theban monarchs Oedipus and Jocasta. He is the twin brother of Polyneices and the elder brother of the Princesses Antigone and Ismene. Eteocles is succeeded as King of Thebes by his Uncle Creon until his son Laodamas is old enough to rule.
Eteocles and Polyneices were brothers in the story Antigone. In the book they fought for the throne of Thebes and both were killed during the fighting.
That she is their sister is the way in which Antigone ties into the situation with Eteocles and Polyneices in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone is the devoted, loving one of the two younger sisters to the twin brothers Eteocles and Polyneices. She knows that disrespect to the dead comes back to haunt the perpetrator in this life and the next. She loves both her brothers and considers them worthy of all their rights as Thebans.
