In trying to deconstruct the penalties and condemnations, in ancient Greece, meted out to those mortals guilty of hubris, one has to first instinctively reflect on their own construction - as to, whether or not, overconfidence, arrogance, pride and mendacity leave them bereft of unobtrusive human sympathy. Such "intentionally dishonoring behavior" brought the person exhibiting it powerful moral condemnation and was treated as a serious crime; yet, the most compelling damnation suffered came from within their own wellspring of insolent dishonor.
