Read the excerpt below from the play antigone by sophocles and answer the question that follows. antigone: eteocles, they say, has had his burial according to our customary rites, to win him honor with the dead below. why does creon decide to bury eteocles according to custom? eteocles was wealthy. eteocles was loyal to thebes. eteocles was creon's son. eteocles led the rebel army.

I believe the correct answer is: Eteocles was loyal to Thebes.

In Sophocles’ drama “Antigone”, Creon puts the law above everyone, even above his family. Creon is the uncle of Antigone, Ismene and Eteocles and Polyneices. Polyneices claimed the crown and led a rebellion, which is why he was declined the right to be buried. On the other side, Eteocles was loyal Thebes and was granted the right to be buried.
