Autocracy in this volume means one-man rule. It brings kings, tyrants, generalissimos, and emperors under a single rubric. The category is more modern than ancient, but not for that reason unhelpful to think with. We avoid the closest ancient term monarchia because its English derivative monarchy imports too many anachronistic connotations from modern history. Besides, monarchia appears in this comprehensive sense only in more abstract political discourse. In ordinary speech monarchia seems a far less coherent category than demokratia or oligarchia. It is not just technical but ethical differences that separate the varieties of monarchia,above all questions of constitutional legitimacy, and for this reason the category is too abstract for most normal political discourse, whereas kings, tyrants, generalissimos and emperors rarely mix in the same conceptual space. For theatre history, however, there is one thing that unites all varieties of autocrat: a keen enthusiasm for theatre and, often, a deft management of its resources for the consolidation of personal power. Often there is an inverse relation between an autocrats legitimacy and his support for theatre.
