What is the scene in which Antigone buries Polyneices

Antigone buries Polyneices in secret during the night, before the guards can discover her. When the guards find her, she is kneeling next to the grave and singing a dirge. The guards take her away to Creon, who sentences her to death. Antigone's death is one of the most tragic moments in the play, as she is punished for her act of civil disobedience, which was motivated by love and loyalty to her family.
