Am I the only one here who feels an irrational draw towards language which aren't my first? I can't be the only one :D 1) Interesting for me to recall Hellenis

1) Interesting for me to recall Hellenistic philosophy, which I've read somewhere in the past was one of the earliest or first places humans were taught / realized that "I" am worth education, healthcare, access to athletics and entertainment, etc. Alexander the great, right? Happy to be corrected.
2) Further really interesting to read the flow you present from hubris→tisis. In my mind, [1] above doesn't wholly negate the idea of 'the gods' + demigods being the arbiters of justice and consequences, but that's not what I'm focused on: how interesting to see even so far back the idea that our negative actions towards others and against the boundaries set by the gods will return to us to the point of harming us, even to the point of 'tisin?' I'm laughing at how much fun my brain is having at parsing all of this!
