Hubris, deriving from the greek hybris, refers to actions that in some way or another, humiliate the victim of the hubristic persona. now, I haven't read Homer's Odyssey in a looooong time, so I don't quite remember Odysseus's actions, but I do know that in ancient Greece it was an actual legal claim, and was a major crime to the Greeks. dunno if that helps you on your way. XD
It is through the actions of Jocasta, Laius and Oedipusthat hubris is shown in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, hubris refers to an exaggerated sense of self, arrogance, or pride. The description fits Theban monarchs Jocasta, Laius and Oedipus. All three believe that they can outsmart the gods, escape unenviable fates and avoid the consequences of their chosen courses of action. For example, Jocasta and Laius attempt to keep their child from growing up to kill his father by arranging to have the three-day-old infant Oedipus killed. Oedipus acts in violence against an older version of himself, does not carry out mandatory cleansing rituals and marries an older woman. These actions abort the very result that each of the three royals seeks.
Oedipus shows hubris as he was aware of the old belief that he would kill his father and share bed with his mother. however he does believe in this and so he departs from the city of corinth and makes his way into thebes where he confronts his biological father. in rage of his encounter , he kills his father and the rest of his guards leaving behind one witness. reaching thebes he solves the unsolved riddle of the sphinx and so he is claimed as the king of thebes ater the death of his father. he reigns for the next 15 years successfully when a plagues strikes them resulting in death and destruction all around them. his loyalty to his peope get him out in search for the culprit behind the death of the late king laius. this is not the answer to the question posted so don't even think about copying it. all you looser's listen well in class when the teacher speaks out rather than close your eyes and going to sleep. I spelled loser wrong so i guess that makes me an idiot.
