Because he considers her presence polluting Creon chooses to bury Antigone alive in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, Princess Antigone breaks a recently issued Theban law for which the penalty is death by her fellow Thebans pelting her with stones. But King Creon considers his niece a troublemaker whose presence pollutes the Theban environment. He therefore revises the sentence to death by being walled up in a dark, remote, scary cave.
