Respuesta :

Creon treated his brothers based on their loyalty and on his narrow interpretation of the law. Creon thinks that Eteocles should be given a proper burial because he fought in honor of Thebes, and he was a former king of Thebes. While Polyneices was viewed as traitor when he brought an army against his own people so Creon believes that traitor should be punished and not honored therefore Polyneices receive no burial.

After Oedipus murdered his father and married his mother, Creon exiled him from Thebes. Creon also stated that Polyneices would not be properly buried because he had committed treason against his own city.
