question: Ønsker creon at være konge af thebes?
context: Creon
  I Ødipus Rex er Kreon bror til dronning Jocasta, kong Laios' og Ødipus' kone. Laius, en tidligere konge af Theben, havde overdraget reglen til Kreon, mens han var taget ud for at konsultere oraklet i Delfi. Under Laius' fravær kom sfinksen til Theben. Da rygtet om Laius' død kom frem, tilbød Kreon Thebens trone samt sin søster (og Laius' enke) Jocasta til den, der kunne befri byen fra sfinksen. Ødipus svarede på sfinksens gåde og giftede sig med Jocasta uden at vide, at hun var hans mor. I løbet af stykket, mens Ødipus kommer tættere på at opdage sandheden om Jocasta, spiller Kreon en konstant rolle tæt på ham. Da Ødipus tilkalder Teiresias for at fortælle ham, hvad der plager byen, og Teiresias fortæller ham, at han er problemet, beskylder Ødipus Kreon for at konspirere mod ham. Kreon hævder, at han ikke ønsker at regere og derfor ikke ville have noget incitament til at vælte Ødipus. Men da sandheden om Jocasta bliver afsløret, og Ødipus beder om at blive forvist, er det Kreon, der imødekommer hans ønske og overtager tronen i hans sted.
context_en: In Oedipus Rex, Creon is a brother of queen Jocasta, the wife of King Laius as well as Oedipus. Laius, a previous king of Thebes, had given the rule to Creon while he went to consult the oracle at Delphi. During Laius's absence, the Sphinx came to Thebes. When word came of Laius's death, Creon offered the throne of Thebes as well as the hand of his sister (and Laius' widow) Jocasta, to anyone who could free the city from the Sphinx. Oedipus answered the Sphinx's riddle and married Jocasta, unaware that she was his mother. Over the course of the play, as Oedipus comes closer to discovering the truth about Jocasta, Creon plays a constant role close to him. When Oedipus summons Tiresias to tell him what is plaguing the city and Teiresias tells him that he is the problem, Oedipus accuses Creon of conspiring against him. Creon argues that he does not want to rule and would, therefore, have no incentive to overthrow Oedipus. However, when the truth is revealed about Jocasta, and Oedipus requests to be exiled, it is Creon who grants his wish and takes the throne in his stead.
