POLYNEICES BURIED? THE TRUTH UNEARTHED
Two days ago, a guard under watch of the area where the body of Polyneices was located. After falling asleep on the duty, the guard awoke to a most unsettling sight. A thin layer of dust had now covered the body of the fallen traitor. No traces of animal or weather disturbance could be seen at the site, so the guards each took a gamble and chose who would have to speak with the king. The guard located near the body at the time took the responsibility and immediately notified the King Creon. Upon interviewing the guard about his encounter with the king, he hardly spoke. From what we could gather out of the stuttering and sobbing, the king's fury knew absolutely no limits.
Just yesterday, the culprit was caught. In a determined act to save his own life, the guard waited for many hours with no rest to find the soul who had betrayed the kings orders. After hours of waiting, someone was spotted returning the dust onto the corpse. Capture of the person revealed that the criminal was none other than the kings very own niece, Antigone! A confrontation with the king proved her guilt when she denied nothing and admitted her intentions with no argument at all. Her only reason for committing such a terrible act of betrayal was loyalty and love for her brother. Her sister Ismene soon began to admit her own fault in the situation trying to share the blame with Antigone. The punishment for either is yet to be determined however with the kings current rage makes it rather obvious that before the end of the week, someone will die.
