The King of Thebes, often referring to characters like Oedipus or Creon in Greek mythology, typically declares authority and responsibility for the city's welfare. In Oedipus Rex, for instance, Oedipus declares his commitment to uncovering the truth behind the plague afflicting Thebes and punishes wrongdoers to restore order. His declarations often reflect themes of fate, leadership, and the quest for knowledge, highlighting the tragic consequences that can arise from such pursuits. Ultimately, these declarations set the stage for the unfolding drama and moral lessons inherent in the myths.
