It is in the way that he addresses his father and the words that he chooses that Haemon speaks diplomatically to Creon in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, Theban Prince Haemon comes to get an unjust edict reversed, his first cousin Polyneices buried and his beloved Princess Antigone pardoned. He opens by addressing King Creon as his father. He presents respectful suggestions of adjusting policy to reflect diverse opinions and differential impact. He refrains from direct contradictions until he is overwhelmed by his father's cruelty, insults and tunnel vision.
