Two brothers fight against each other, Polyneikis as a traitor against his own country and Eteokles as a defender and hero. They both die. King Creon decides to apply the death penalty to anyone that buries the dead body of the traitor Polyneikis. Refusing him a religious burial is the only rational way to punish him. Polyneikis sister Antigone, overwhelmed by grief and perhaps even erotic attraction to her own dead  brother, defies the decision of the king and her future father in law and buries Polyneikis with her own hands. She declares that the law of the Gods is greater than the law of man. King Creon sentences her to death and his own son Haimon commits suicide when he sees his dead fiancé. Creon’s wife Evridike commits suicide when she sees her dead son.
