The state as a ship is the metaphor that Creon uses during his first speech in the first scene of "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, the term metaphor describes one person or thing by something quite different. The description fits Theban King Creon's characterization of the Theban state as a ship on the ocean. He likens the first civil war over the Theban royal succession to choppy waves upon which the ship of the Theban state is tossed but ultimately steadied by the gods.

What value does Creon praise in his initial speech to the chorus in 'Antigone'?
Loyalty to the Theban monarchy is the value that Creon praises in his first speech to the chorus in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Creon trumpets Thebans who respect the monarchy no matter who is the legitimate ruler. He criticizes Thebans such as his nephew Polyneices, who take their challenge to royal authority to the point of war. But he neglects to mention that he and the nephew Eteocles that he so praises are actually illegal power-holders.In fact, a power-sharing arrangement is in effect whereby the twin brothers are to alternate years of rule. At the end of his first year and with his Uncle Creon's support, Eteocles refuses to honor the agreement and hand the crown over to Polyneices. So it is more of a case of Polyneices standing up for his rights against an illegal seize of power than disrespecting Thebes.
