Read the excerpt from "The Royal House of Thebes."
Some hours later, Creon in the palace was startled by a
shout, "Against your orders Polyneices has been
buried." He hurried out to be confronted with the guards
he had set on the dead body and with Antigone. "This
girl buried him," they cried. "We saw her. A thick dust
storm gave her her chance. When it cleared, the body
had been buried and the girl was making an offering to
the dead." "You knew my edict?" Creon asked, "Yes,"
Antigone replied, "And you transgressed the law?"
"Your law, but not the law of Justice who dwells with the
gods," Antigone said. "The unwritten laws of heaven
are not of today nor yesterday, but from all time."
