    EPIGRAPH: But Polyneices' corpse who died in pain they say he has proclaimed to the whole town that none may bury him and none bewail, but leave him unwept, untombed, a rich sweet sigh for the hungry birds' beholding. Such orders they say the worthy Creon gives to you and me - yes, yes, I say to me - and that he's coming to proclaim it clear to those who know it not. Further: he has the matter so at heart that anyone who dares attempt the act will die by public stoning in the town.
