In this episode, we explore Hybris, the ancient Greek personification of arrogance, overreach, and hubris. Born from a cosmic desire to test the limits of mortals, Hybris serves as a mirror reflecting our pride, entitlement, and the consequences of forgetting balance.
Through myth, meditation, and reflection, we uncover how Hybris teaches the soul the sacred lesson of restraint, humility, and cosmic proportion. From mortal kings who believed themselves equal to the gods, to the intricate dynamics of divine punishment in Greek literature, Hybris reveals the eternal tension between human ambition and divine order.
