μέγα το της θαλάσσης κράτος

[pontios]

Άσε που αυτό το mount του paramount κάνει οξύμωρο με τη θάλασσα.

... μα υπαρχει και ο συνειρμός με τον Henry VIII (and you can't "divorce" it from that).

What is the great matter? (the/a, what's the difference)
Henry VIII rarely if ever referred to his divorce from Catherine of Aragon as a divorce. Henry preferred the term the 'great matter'. The 'great matter' was to run for six years before it culminated in what Henry had wanted for so long – divorce from Catherine followed by marriage to Anne Boleyn

Since we don't like paramount (and we like great matter):
... ruling/commanding the sea is a great matter/is of vital importance/is all important/is vital/is crucial/is key?

Αρκετά το βασανίσαμε.....

Όχι ακόμη

Tis great to gain rule of the sea.

 

[pontios]

Όχι ακόμη

Tis great to gain rule of the sea.

... let's not forget the other "rule of the sea," the unwritten one (which is 'women and children should be evacuated first' from a sinking ship).
It's a sea of confusion.
