Answer:

The answer is explained below.

Explanation:

Antigone is a play written by Sophocles, who is one of the three ancient Greek  tragedians. Even though it is the last of three Theban plays, it is said that Sophocles had written it before he wrote the first two. Creon is the new Tebas ruler, after Eteocles and Polynices death.

In the excerpt, we can see how Creon emphasizes the importance of human civil law when he says "Before my presence here the very man/ who carried out this lawless burial,/ Death for your punishment shall not be suffice/ Hanged on a cross, alive yet first shall make/ Confession of this outrage. This will teach you/ What practices are like to serve your turn." By these words, it is understood that the worst punishment is valid against those who had the courage to break the law, which is almost sacred.
