The Burial of Polyneices! Extra! Extra! Extra! Read all about it!

by: Anonymous
Polyneices, the brother of Antigone was killed today along with Eteocles. He and his brother killed each other trying to become the king. Creon took control and orders were given to not bury anyone who goes against Thebes. Anyone doing so will be killed. The orders were given only because Polyneices fought against Thebes. Eteocles was honored since he didn't go against Thebes but Polyneices isn't. Someone caught Antigone burying her brother Polyneices and took her to the king. Antigone along with her sister Ismene were sentenced to death. Later on Ismene was allowed to live but Antigone was locked away. The king's son found the king and had a quarrel with him. When the son left, the king got the news of his fate by the blind prophet. Upon learning his prophet the king went to release Antigone. Getting to where he had locked Antigone up he found Antigone dead. His son tried to kill him (the king) but dodging the son failed. The son mad killed himself. King Creon returning home also found his wife dead and so he wanted to kill himself. He had himself killed.......WE NEED A NEW KING SO WHO WILL BE THE NEXT KING! An event is going to be held for those who want to become the next king.
So please enter.....
