Best Answer

It is because she is caught breaking the law that the guard leads Antigone to Creon in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).

Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone breaks her uncle King Creon's edict of non-burial of the disloyal Theban dead. She is caught in the act of burying and anointing her brother Polyneices. One of the posted sentries leads her into Creon's presence for interrogation and sentencing.
