Best Answer

Antigone sprinkling wine three times over Polyneices' corpse is significant as the carrying out of proper funerary procedure for a dead Theban. According to the play, Antigone can't give her traitorous brother a proper below ground burial. So she fulfills the funerary requirements with a partial, above ground burial. She does so by sprinkling dust and then pouring drink offerings to the gods three times.
