Being seen as weak is what Creon fears in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).

Specifically, Theban King Creon dislikes challenges to his person, his rule and his state. He does not want to share decision making or power holding. In fact, he sees any gathering of opinions or modifying of policy as weakness, which can lead to homelessness, joblessness and powerlessness on his part.
