Abstract
The lament on the king of Tyre, which is in Ez 28,11-19, has its best interpretation in the masoretic text -that possibly was not the original-, on which one king of Tyre was magnificent and wise, but became arrogant and pretended to be a god, for that reason God ejects and anihilates him. Jewish tradition sees in this king either Adan or Eve, but those identifications, even if they throws new light on an aspect, do not explain the whole. The hebrew text could have a different interpretation from the masoretic one, in which the king of Tire was really a god, but that would be dismiss because of his pride. In this interpretive line it is possible to include the one that relates this lament with the creation as ugaritic and mesopotamic myths, which are also present in the Bible. God would have to fight with other gods to stablish order in creation.
