King Creon
No, Creon in 'Medea' wasn't the same as Creon in 'Antigone'. In the first case, Creon was the King of Corinth and the father of Princess Creusa. Both father and daughter were killed by Medea, who didn't want to let go of her husband Jason. In the second case, Creon was the King of Thebes. He also was the father of Megara and thereby father-in-law to Heracles. He was killed by Lycus, who was Nycteus' brother. Nycteus was the father of Nycteis, who married Theban King Polydorus. Their son, Theban King Labdacus, was the father of Theban King Laius, who married Creon's sister Jocasta.
Of no country is Creon King. Instead, Creon is King of the city of Thebes. It doesn't come out in the play. But Creon actually is serving as regent. The ruler is supposed to be Laodamas, the son of Creon's nephew Eteocles. But Eteocles is dead, and Laodamas is too young to rule at the moment.
Fear that Creon is trying to take his power and crown as King as Thebes

No, Theban King Oedipus isn't Theban King Creon's son. Instead, he's the son of King Laius and Queen Merope of Thebes. So he's Creon's brother-in-law and nephew.
He was the king.
