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.

What rites does Antigone perform for her dead brother in 'Antigone'?
Proper, Theban-style funeral rites are the rites performed by Antigone for her dead brother in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone gives the body of her dead brother Polyneices a Theban burial. The burial is supposed to be below-ground. But Antigone lacks the strength for anything other than a partial burial, by which the body remains above ground, but covered with a layer of dust. Whether complete or partial, the burial must be accompanied by anointing with sacred liquid from a special ewer. Then the body will be considered as having received a proper, Theban-style burial and funeral rites.
What does the Sentry find strange about the semi-burial of Polyneices' body?
The fact of the illegality of any form of burial to the disloyal Theban dead is what the Sentry finds strange about the semi burial of Polyneices' body. Also the fact of the clueless identity of the perpetrator is something else that the Sentry finds strange. He can't imagine why anyone would dare to disobey Theban King Creon's law, particularly in the light of the death sentence that violation carries.
What is the complication in 'Antigone'?
The partial burial and re-exposure of Polyneices' body is an example of a complication in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, a complication can be described as a hindrance, an inconvenience. For example, Theban Princess Antigone does not have the strength to bury her brother Polyneices' body below ground. She instead has to give him a partial burial whereby the body is left above ground but covered by a dusty layer. The body is found by her uncle King Creon's guards and re-exposed. Antigone must re-bury the body and is caught in the process.
