Here's how the Sentry describes the capture of Antigone:
1. Discovering the Tomb's Disturbance:
- The Sentry and his fellow guards arrive at the scene and find that someone has broken the decree of King Creon, which forbade anyone from burying Polyneices, who was deemed a traitor.
2. Observing Antigone:
- The Sentry spots Antigone kneeling beside the tomb or mound covering Polyneices' body. She is in the process of pouring libations and making offerings to her deceased brother.
3. Confrontation and Resistance:
- The Sentry confronts Antigone and accuses her of disobeying the king's orders. She admits to her actions and justifies her devotion to her brother and the sacred duty of burial.
4. Reporting to Creon:
- The Sentry seizes Antigone and brings her before King Creon, as instructed by Ismene, Antigone's sister, who was also present at the scene but remains undetected.
In his report to Creon, the Sentry explains the details of their discovery, providing evidence of Antigone's involvement and her blatant defiance of the king's decree.
