Literary texts employ "founder" in a rich variety of senses, both as a title for those who initiate grand enterprises and as a term evoking decline or collapse. It often denotes the pioneering individual behind significant organizations or movements—for instance, an entrepreneur in business settings [1], a religious trailblazer seen in figures like John Wesley [2], or a mythic progenitor responsible for the founding of cities and dynasties as with Romulus [3] or Cadmus [4]. In some writings, the word shifts from personification to a vivid verb describing failure or sinking, such as when a ship founders in the midst of a storm [5, 6]. This duality of meaning—marking both the inception of enduring legacies and the act of succumbing to ruin—underscores its enduring versatility in literature.
