In 'Hellas', the final chorus beginning 'The world’s great age begins anew' expresses:

1. A deep fear that a second dark age of tyranny and ignorance is already beginning
2. A cyclical vision of history and the hope for a new golden age
3. An announcement of the total and permanent defeat of the Greek rebels by the Ottomans
4. The poet's personal desire to retire completely from political engagement and controversy
