Yes, Theban King Creon is a strong ruler in the play "Antigone" by ancient Greek playwright Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, the adjective "strong" may describe a ruler who shows physical stamina and mental alertness. Creon shows mental alertness in recognizing a problem of discontent within his realm and coming up with a solution. He shows physical stamina in enforcing an unpopular law and in holding steady upon a difficult course until Teiresias the blind prophet and the Chorus leader advise him to do otherwise.
But a strong ruler is not necessarily a good, effective or beloved leader of people.
