Hubris
Homer, Odyssey 18.381-383 (tr. Peter Green):
Newer› ‹Older
But you're so incredibly arrogant and rigid-minded—
I suppose you think you're a great and powerful fellow
because those you consort with are mean and common?
ἀλλὰ μάλ᾽ ὑβρίξεις, καί τοι νόος ἐστὶν ἀπηνής·
καί πού τις δοκέεις μέγας ἔμμεναι ἠδὲ κραταιός,
οὕνεκα πὰρ παύροισι καὶ οὐκ ἀγαθοῖσιν ὁμιλεῖς.
