Hmmm, the Titanic and the Iceburg were certainly not ethical principles, so it must be two goods.

Hello dear!
Well, I wouldn't use words like catastrophe, or even principles or goods!
Tragedy is a way to educate people to be free! Further, Greeks do not have the conflict of good and bad, but mainly the build up of characters!
