In The Odyssey, Homer presents the idea that the downfall of both great heroes and monsters alike is their excessive ego.
The Odyssey: By Homer
Theme: Hubris
[Polyphemus] "'... You order me to fear the gods! My people think nothing of that Zeus with his big scepter, nor any god; our strength is more than theirs. If I spare you or spare you friends, it will not be out of fear of Zeus. I do the bidding of my own heart... They [Odysseus and crew] took the olive spear, its tip all sharp, and shoved it in his [Polyphemus] eye. (Homer 134 & 137)"[Odysseus] "'Cyclops! If any mortal asks you how your eye was mutilated and made blind, say that Odysseus, the city-sacker, Laertes' son, who lives in Ithaca, destroyed your sight... Polyphemus raised a rock far bigger than the last, and swing, then hurled it with immeasurable force.(Homer 140 & 142)'"
