Reminds me of Cincinnatus, who retired as a farmer after his term as Consul. When the Romans struggled against an invasion by a Gallic tribe, they begged him to come out of retirement. He came back to power, defeated the invaders in sixteen days, then gave up his power and went back to being a farmer.
