Yes and no. According to the original meaning of the word, Theban King Oedipus was a tyrant. Originally, a tyrant seized power illegally. That's what Oedipus did by killing his father and his sovereign, Theban King Laius. He didn't know whom he was killing when he responded with violence to violent behavior by a stranger who was old enough to be his father and whom he resembled. But the fact remained that he committed murder and didn't go through the necessary cleansing of required purification ceremonies. So his rise to power was illegal in Thebes.But according to the modern definition, Oedipus may not have been a tyrant. He didn't appear to be viewed as arbitrary, cruel or selfish by his subjects. Instead, he appeared to have gained the love and respect of the Theban people. In the play, for example, his fellow Thebans referred to his bravery against the frightening Sphinx whom he alone outwitted and defeated.
"...or the Fire-god's pine-fed flame had seized our crown of towers" and "For seven captains at seven gates, matched against seven..." are two examples of assonance in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, assonance describes the repetition of vowel sounds to create internal rhymes. The above mentioned examples draw upon English translations available on the Internet. The first example is found in the first antistrophe of the parados. The second example is found in the third systema of the parados.
The two critical states of Western Theater, during the American Civil War, were Missouri and Kentucky. The state of Kentucky had a pro-Confederate governor and a pro-Union legislature and was declared neutral. ALthough it's neutrality was violated on September 3, 1861 when Confederate Maj. Gen. Polk occupied Columbus, considered key to controlling the Lower Mississippi. Two days' later Union Gen. Grant seized Paducah. Neither side ever respected Kentucky's decision of neutrality. Even though political support from secessionists in central and western counties of Kentucky had a new capital at Bowling Green and Kentucky was recognized by the Confederate government and admitted Kentucky into the Confederacy in December 1861 and because of the rail system resources, Polk equip and fortified Columbus as Confederate base. However future Union's victories is due partly of the fact that Kentucky never formally sided with the Confederacy, otherwise later successful campaigns in Tennessee would have been more difficult.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julius_Caesar#Early_life Caesar's uncle Marius was a popularis; Marius' protégé and rival Lucius Cornelius Sulla was an optimas. Both Marius and Sulla distinguished themselves in the Social War, and both wanted command of the war against Mithridates, which was initially given to Sulla; but when Sulla left the city to take command of his army, a tribune passed a law transferring the appointment to Marius. Sulla responded by marching on Rome, reclaiming his command and forcing Marius into exile, but when he left on campaign Marius returned at the head of a makeshift army. He and his ally Lucius Cornelius Cinna seized the city and declared Sulla a public enemy, and Marius's troops took violent revenge on Sulla's supporters. Marius died early in 86 BC, but his faction remained in power.[11] In 85 BC Caesar's father died suddenly while putting on his shoes one morning, without any apparent cause,[12] and at sixteen, Caesar was the head of the family. The following year he was nominated to be the new Flamen Dialis, high priest of Jupiter, as Merula, the previous incumbent, had died in Marius's purges.[13] Since the holder of that position not only had to be a patrician but also be married to a patrician, he broke off his engagement to Cossutia, a girl of wealthy equestrian family he had been betrothed to since boyhood, and married Cinna's daughter Cornelia.[14] Then, having brought Mithridates to terms, Sulla returned to finish the civil war against Marius' followers. After a campaign throughout Italy he seized Rome at the Battle of the Colline Gate in November 82 BC and had himself appointed to the revived office of dictator; but whereas a dictator was traditionally appointed for six months at a time, Sulla's appointment had no term limit. Statues of Marius were destroyed and Marius' body was exhumed and thrown in the Tiber. Cinna was already dead, killed by his own soldiers in a mutiny.[15] Sulla's proscriptions saw hundreds of his political enemies killed or exiled. Caesar, as the nephew of Marius and son-in-law of Cinna, was targeted. He was stripped of his inheritance, his wife's dowry and his priesthood, but refused to divorce Cornelia and was forced to go into hiding.
Two little kittens, one stormy night, Begun to quarrel, and then to fight; One had a mouse, the other had none, And that's the way the quarrel begun. "I'll have that mouse," said the biggest cat; "You'll have that mouse? We'll see about that!" "I will have that mouse," said the eldest son; "You shan't have the mouse," said the little one. I told you before 'twas a stormy night; When these two little kittens began to fight; The old woman seized her sweeping broom, And swept the kittens right out of the room. The ground was covered with frost and snow, And the two little kittens had no where to go; So they laid them down on the mat at the door, While the old woman finished sweeping the floor. Then they crept in, as quiet as mice, All wet with snow, and cold as ice, For they found it was better, that stormy night, To lie down and sleep than to quarrel and fight.

The question doesn't include enough information. "Seized" by who (what agency) for what reason (evidence - forfeiture - safekeeping - etc) ? If it was seized as contraband and seized for forfeiture it will become the property of whatever agency that seized it. If it was seized as evidence of a crime, it will be returned to the victim/complainant after the trial is over.
