What is the reason why Creon refuses to bury the body in 'Antigone'?
That he considers his nephew an enemy in life and deathis the reason why Creon refuses to bury the body in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Creon and his nephew Polyneices are on opposite sides in the recent civil war over the Theban royal succession. Creon's hostility does not cease with his nephew's death. He feels that giving a dead Theban traitor the same above ground exposure as dead non-Theban enemies will discourage future challenges to his rule.

Does Creon let Antigone bury him in 'Antigone'?
No, Creon does not let Antigone bury anyone in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Creon issues a royal edict by which his enemies are denied god-given rights of all Thebans to below-ground burials and funeral rites. Creon makes no distinction between King Adrastus' Argive invaders, whose dead are expected to be left unburied since they are not Theban, and Polyneices' Theban supporters, who traditionally find their burial rights respected since they are considered Theban in life and death regardless of what they do in life. Creon therefore refuses to let anyone bury anybody other than loyal Theban dead.
