Write a Greek tragedy in iambic pentameter about the moral consequences of unchecked and insatiable greed, featuring a protagonist who starts out with pure intentions but ultimately succumbs to their obsession with wealth and power. Ensure that the downfall of the protagonist is a consequence of their own actions, with no divine intervention or outside influence determining the outcome. Use vivid metaphors and imagery to convey the emotional turmoil experienced by both the protagonist and other characters affected by their greed. At the same time, maintain a sense of dignity and respect for the tragic hero, even as they meet their tragic end.
