Polyneices is still alive and therefore unburied in "Oedipus Rex." But that the gods may have buriedPolyneices is what the chorus leader thinks in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, in Episode 1, a guard tells Theban King Creon that the previously exposed body of Polyneices now is covered with dust. Even this partial burial contradicts Creon's recent law denying disloyal Thebans the god-given right of funeral services and below-ground burials to all Thebans. It is no wonder then that the chorus leader suggests that the carrying out of a divinely expressed guarantee may be the work of the gods.

What does the chorus think will happen to the killer of laius?

What does the chorus think that Creon should do in 'Antigone'?
Bury Polyneices and release Antigone is what the chorus thinks that Creon should do in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the chorus cannot interact directly with any of the onstage characters. But its leader can do so. The chorus leader in fact asks Theban King Creon to bury the exposed body of Polyneices and to free Princess Antigone from her walled up cave.
Whom does Creon think buried Polyneices in 'Antigone'?
People who do it for money and are in the pay of his enemies are those whom Creon thinks bury Polyneices in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Creon says that there is opposition to his recent edict on the non-burial of disloyal Theban dead. His opponents have money with which to corrupt others. In Creon's mind, they therefore are the ones who think up the deed, but they pay people who need money to actually do the deed.
Why did Creon think that Eteocles should be buried?
Theban King Creon thought that Eteocles should be buried, as a loyal defender of Thebes against the Argive attack. But the King thought that Eteocles' brother Polyneices shouldn't be given the same respect. Creon's rationale was the traitorous support of the Theban Polyneices to the enemies from Argos.
How do the guards decide who will bring the news to Creon in 'Oedipus Rex'?
It is by drawing lots that the guards decide who will bring news to Creon in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the guards discover Polyneices' body partially buried under a layer of dust. Polyneices is considered a Theban traitor for attacking Thebes in an assertion of his legitimate claims to the Theban throne. The guards know that Theban King Creon will be upset by news of the body being buried and his non-burial edict being broken. They think of drawing lots as the way to choose the bearer of bad news to a hot-tempered royal.
What does Oedipus think of the chorus?

What does the chorus think of Teiresias in 'Oedipus Rex'?
That he is wise but not a god is what the chorus thinks of Teirsias in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the chorus is as confused as Theban King Oedipus is by Teiresias the blind prophet's accusations. The members do not see anything in Oedipus' personal or professional life to warrant charges of criminal and questionable moral behavior. They suggest that prophets may be skilled but are not as perfect as gods.

It helps establish Creon as a foil for Oedipus, thus highlighting Oedipus's tendency not to think before he speaks.
Who do you think is the better leader Oedipus or Creon?
I personally think that Oedipus is a better leader because he was willing to exile himself to protect Thebes from the plague. Also, in Oedipus Rex, Creon discusses with Oedipus that he does not want to be king because he didn't want that responsibility; as long as Oedipus was king, he had all the privileges of royalty without having to worry about the politics of it.
