Best Answer

The partial burial and re-exposure of Polyneices' body is an example of a complication in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).

Specifically, a complication can be described as a hindrance, an inconvenience. For example, Theban Princess Antigone does not have the strength to bury her brother Polyneices' body below ground. She instead has to give him a partial burial whereby the body is left above ground but covered by a dusty layer. The body is found by her uncle King Creon's guards and re-exposed. Antigone must re-bury the body and is caught in the process.
