Answer:

Creon issued a law that whoever tried to bury Polyneices would be put to death. Antigone is very upset because her one brother is graced with all the rites of a hero, while the other is disgraced. Antigone is determined to bury her brother because of her loyalty to her family and to the gods. Creon exile Oedipus from Thebes after Oedipus killed his father and married his mother. Creon also declared that Polyneices would not receive a proper burial because he committed treason against his own city. For her loyalty to her brother and to her conscience, Antigone is eventually sentenced to be immured in a cave. However, she does not wait to die but hangs herself with a noose made from her 'fine linen veil. Polyneices is the brother of Antigone, Ismene and Eteocles. Creon decides that Polyneices is a traitor to Thebes because he was fighting against the king, even though Eteocles went against their agreement. Since Eteocles was the king, he determines that he should be given a proper burial, while his brother, Polyneices, should be left unburied.

kati45 [8]
The persona in "To His Coy Mistress" is basically a guy coaxing his lady love to "do it" with him using arguments of time and mortality. While this concept of convincing a woman to "give it up" is timeless, in this poem it is rather clear how the persona sees women as objects for pleasure. His persuasion, while flowing with cadence, reeks of machismo typical of predominantly patriarchal age.
