Read these lines from the opening of Oedipus the King, Part II, in which the Thebans pray to the gods to grant them humility:

Chorus. But the proud man,
The man who spits in the face of justice,
The man who scorns the altars of the gods,
That man will lose his empty dreams in the whirlwind of god’s fire.
