Respect for Polyneices as dead, a monarch and her sibling, for Hades and for proper funerary procedures describes why Antigone buries her brother in the namesake play by Sophocles (496 B.C.-406 B.C.). Antigone interprets Polyneices as a human-being deserving protection from desecration by the birds, dogs and elements through the perceived god-given procedures for and traditions of funerary rites and rituals. She opts for respecting Hades, the place to which all human beings, including herself go, for eternity.
