In "Antigone", when King Creon, who had commanded that the body of Polyneices not be buried and left outside to rot, learned that someone had disobeyed orders and buried him. He immediately commanded the guard who brought him the news to bring him the person responsible.

Foreshadowing
That they seek to overthrow him and that they are cowards in the pay of his enemies are what Creon assumes about the motives of those who disobey him in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Creon issues an unpopular edict whereby god-given below-ground burials are denied to the disloyal Theban dead in the recent civil war over the royal succession. Creon assumes direct and indirect involvement in the breaking of the law. He accuses his enemies of seeking to overthrow him but of not doing the deed themselves. Instead, his enemies bribe others who actually do the deed for money. Either way, Creon sees his opponents as despicable cowards.
That this is not the way for women to behave and that the consequences are fatal are the reasons why Ismene begs her sister to obey Creon in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Ismene believes that men dominate and lead whereas women follow and obey. She also believes that burying Polyneices and defying her uncle King Creon are impossible tasks that therefore must not be attempted. Additionally, she cautions that the punishment of civil disobedience is death and that Creon will execute her humiliatingly and painfully.
