Resumo
En la tragedia ática, el significado del término týrannos es confuso y problemático. Como regla general presenta un sentido neutro que responde a la estructura política de la Edad Heroica; por eso resulta intercambiable con otros términos como basileús o ánax. Sin embargo, el uso del concepto no parece azaroso y en algunas ocasiones pareciera expresar algo más que la simple idea de rey, señor o soberano. Este trabajo tiene el propósito de demostrar cómo en el marco de las tragedias tebanas de Sófocles týrannos a veces carga con un sentido negativo que se explica en función de la forma ambivalente y peligrosa con la que se administra Tebas. Es decir, si bien Edipo y Creonte a veces aspiran a proteger los intereses de la pólis, como fruto de sus excesos terminan por socava los principios de la comunidad. Todo lo contrario a lo que sucede, como veremos, con Teseo en Edipo en Colono
