Chorus:
“King Creon. All hail to Creon.
He’s the new king but he’s right
For this city at this moment.”
Creon:
“Gentlemen. We have entered calmer waters.
Our ship of state was very nearly wrecked
But the gods have kept her safe.”
The Burial at Thebes: Sophocles’ Antigone. Seamus Heaney

We’re very lucky to have Capn Boris.
It’s worth reading the play, if you happen not to be familiar with it. I can’t read Ancient Greek, not having had a public school education, but Heaney’s translation is majestic.
As I am sure you realise, this is a tragedy and hubris soon turns to despair.
