What is Creon advised to do in 'Antigone'?
Bury Polyneices and release Antigone is what Creon is advised to do in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Creon denies god-given burial rights to his nephew Polyneices. He gives his niece, Princess Antigone, the death sentence for breaking his non-burial law and burying her brother. But his son Haemon, his royal advisor Teiresias the blind prophet and his supporter the chorus leader all suggest that he needs to give Polyneices' body a proper below ground burial as well as release Antigone from her live burial.
What does Antigone plan to do with Polyneices in 'Antigone'?
Give him a proper burial and Theban-stylefuneral rites is what Antigone plans to do with Polyneices in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the gods guarantee all Thebans of below-ground burials and funeral rites. Theban Princess Antigone's brother Polyneices is being denied these rights by a law recently issued by Antigone's uncle, King Creon. Antigone plans to give Polyneices a below-ground burial if her sister Ismene helps or a partial burial if Ismene refuses. Either way, Polyneices' body will be considered buried in compliance with Theban traditions.
What law does Antigone break in 'Antigone'?
A royal edict of non-burial of the disloyal Theban deadis the law that Antigone breaks in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone's brother Eteocles finds his god-given rights to a below-ground burial and proper funeral rites honored by his uncle King Creon's recent edict. But her brother Polyneices' rights are denied, and his body is left above ground and exposed to weather and wildlife. Antigone accepts that proper procedure is followed regarding Eteocles, but not in regard to Polyneices.
What symbolizes the burial of Polyneices in 'Antigone'?
A covering of dust over the body and the pouring of ritual oil symbolize the burial of Polyneices in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone does not have the strength to give her brother Polyneices a proper below-ground burial. But it is acceptable to give him a partial burial. The first part of the partial burial is achieved by covering Polyneices' body with dirt until no body part or clothing or accessory is visible. It is time-consuming, but do-able by Antigone. The second part is pouring ritual oil from a bronze ewer over the body.
