Browsing through Patti Smith's Just Kids...

“Nothing painful is there, nothing fraught with ruin, no shame, no dishonour, that I have not seen in thy woes and mine.”
Sophocles, Antigone, 442 B.C.

Two brothers kill each other in the battle. One is honored, the other is left unburied. His sister defies the tyrant’s order to leave him unburied. She confronts the tyrant and is killed for standing up for her beliefs, for standing up for human dignity.
