Hybris

(Ὕβρις) - An ancient rustic nymph or the literal personified goddess of excessive pride, insolence, and reckless behavior. She is the reckless overstepping of boundaries - the defiance of divine and natural law that invites inevitable ruin. Not confidence, but the blindness that comes from believing oneself above consequence. In rare alternative mythologies recorded by local regional poets seeking a wilder, more primal origin for rustic deities, Hybris is named as a consort of Zeus. Their unusual union was said to have produced Pan, the half-goat god of the wild, pairing the supreme ruler of order with the raw essence of chaotic overconfidence.
