Yep. "Wonders are many, and none is more wonderful than man; the power that crosses the white sea, driven by the stormy south-wind, making a path under surges that threaten to engulf him..."
Antigone is written by Sophocles. It's about how great man is.Shakespeare didn't write Antigone. Sophocles did.
The parados isn't an ode. The first ode therefore begins with 'Wonders are many, and none is more wonderful than man...'. The second ode begins with 'Blest are they whose days have not tasted of evil'. It takes up a total of eight paragraphs. It ends with 'But lo, Haemon, the last of thy sons; comes he grieving for the doom, of his promised bride, Antigone, and bitter for the baffled hope of his marriage?' In the second ode, the chorus discusses the staying nature and power of curses. They cite the specific example of the cursed house of the Labdacidae from which Antigone descends through her father, King Oedipus. They explain that the curse levels three of the King's four children: Antigone, Eteocles, and Polyneices. The implication is the application of the curse to the remaining child, Ismene. For the chorus warns that human error always is met with divine punishment, divine retribution.

Antigone herself is not the tragic hero of Antigone. The tragic hero of Antigone is Creon. Creon is a well-intentioned king, that comes from royal blood, but he brings his death upon himself with his tragic flaw. His flaw was that he paid more attention to the laws of man and easily forgot about the power of the gods. After everyone that he loves dies, Antigone (his niece), Haimon (his son), and Eurydice (his wife), he becomes a better person and changes his views. However, it is too late for Creon by the end of the tragedy, and he is too weighed-down by his own guilt. He chooses to die.

Boating, farming, governing, hunting, and livestock raising are wonderful things that man can do in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the wonderful achievements of mortals are listed in the second ode. The chorus also brings in resourcefulness in surviving weather extremes. But the members caution that mortals can do nothing against death.

"One must remember that a man lives best when he is true to himself." - Antigone speaking about the conflict between following divine law and man-made law.
Haemon is more concerned with human law and the stability of the city-state. He believes in obeying the laws of the land and argues that Antigone should not go against them, thereby promoting social order and the well-being of the community. He values the rule of law over divine authority in this context.
Bach composed a Cantata entitled "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring". Beethoven composed "Ode to Joy" as a part of his 9th Symphony.
