Why is Antigone so concerned with glory in

In Sophocles' play "Antigone," the protagonist, Antigone, is strongly motivated by a sense of duty and familial loyalty rather than glory. Her main concern is to give her brother, Polynices, a proper burial, despite the fact that King Creon has forbidden it. Antigone risks punishment and death to fulfill her duty to her family, not to gain glory or recognition.
