 A man who is so used to succeeding, especially because of his intellect, is one who is always in danger of believing he is more important than the gods who lead him. And of course, to believe that is to be on a short road to disaster, right? For Aristotle, that is what tragedy is when humans begin to disregard the gods and believe they can control everything. So this typical tragic flaw of the hero is our flaw. It doesn't have to be, you know, Greece in the 1200s. We understand how dangerous pride is and how completely open we are to that particular sin. This is one of the reasons why Homer is enduringly important in all times and places. Because what he is talking about, although it is situated in a very particular time and place, is universal. The struggles of his heroes are our struggles.
