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

unwritten laws of heaven are not of today nor
yesterday, but from all time."
