In The Odysseys by Homer, Odyssey when on cyclopes island proclaim his identity which is an example of pride and hubris. Odyssey decides to control his actions with the Polyphemus, despite the appeals made by his crew to depart from the island quickly. As a result due to his pride and arrogance, his men have to suffer. His pride and arrogance go against the Greek values when he yells back at Polyphemus, calling himself "raider of the cities" and that he is from Ithaca to commend himself. Such pride leads him to his downfall as hubris was a sin as believed by the Greek. They believed that the humans were below them in a hierarchy and showing hubris was an act of equalizing themselves with the god.
