No one is specified as being buried with Antigone in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the covered body of Theban Prince Haemon is brought on a bier to the Theban royal palace. This is just after Haemon kills himself after finding his beloved Princess Antigone hanging dead from her own halter and after failing to kill his father, King Creon. No mention is made as to the disposition of Antigone's body.
