illustration for John Milton's Paradise Lost by Gustave DorÃ© (1866).The spiritual descent of Lucifer into Satan is one of the most famous examples of hubris. Hubris (/ËhjuËbrÉªs/, also hybris, from ancient Greek á½Î²ÏÎ¹Ï) describes a personality quality of extreme or foolish pride or dangerous over-confidence.
Crucial to this definition are the ancient Greek concepts of honor (ÏÎ¹Î¼Î®, timÄ) and shame (Î±á¼°Î´ÏÏ, aidÅs). The concept of honor included not only the exaltation of the one receiving honor, but also the shaming of the one overcome by the act of hubris.n other words, the modern definition may be thought of as, that pride that goes just before the fall. More recently, in his two-volume biography of Adolf Hitler, historian Ian Kershaw uses both 'hubris' and 'nemesis' as titles. The first volume, Hubris, describes Hitler's early life and rise to power.
