Hubris, from Ancient Greek ὕβρις (húbris) ‘pride, insolence, outrage’) … is extreme or excessive pride or dangerous overconfidence and complacency, often in combination with (or synonymous with) arrogance. Hubris, arrogance, and pretension are related to the need for victory (even if it does not always mean winning) instead of reconciliation, which ‘friendly’ groups might promote.
In ancient Greek religion and myth, Nemesis, from Ancient Greek Νέμεσις (Némesis, lit. ‘Distribution’) … was the goddess who personified retribution for the sin of hubris: arrogance before the gods.
