Hubris is generally considered to be excessive pride or presumption (originally towards the gods) which brings about the hero's downfall. A recent example of this can be seen in the remake of Clash of the Titans (2010) where King Kepheus and Queen Cassiopeia of Argos compare themselves and their daughters to the Gods thus bringing down retribution on their heads.
