King Creon vs. Antigone (City's Laws vs. Gods' Laws)

[Bon]

I don't mean to pester you Pavvies with this story many of you indulged in high school, or hell, even college. Anyway, mere minutes ago, I was on Connect Web looking at my peers' responses on this situation between Creon and Antigone. The majority claimed that Creon was in the wrong for the refusal of burying Polyneices because despite being the opposer, he was family, and every death deserves a burial. Attacks were also made on his demeanor and his tactics. I've had many dilemmas with this situation, as I feel both Antigone and Creon had validity in the actions they executed (Creon with his laws, and Antigone disobeying his laws, but favoring that of the Gods). For any of you who know or have read this story, what is your take on all of this? Which of these two individuals is morally right?

I read both Oedipus Rex and Antigone freshman year of HS, and wrote a 20+ page paper on each. But that was a long time ago. All I remember is that Oedipus killed his father and married his mother, and Antigone was Oedipus' daughter (if I remember correctly). She had some incest issues herself, if I remember.

Sex, violence, death....I always liked reading stuff from ancient Greece. I read the Iliad and part of The Odyssey sophomore year as well.
