In Ancient Greece, pride was seen as hubris and a crime against the gods that would result in divine retribution. Pride was an important part of Greek culture, especially for warriors like Achilles, who refused to help Agamemnon during the Trojan War due to a perceived lack of respect. Other proud figures included Priam, who kissed Achilles' hand after he killed Priam's son Hector, and Menelaus, who forced his brother Agamemnon to continue the war to retrieve his wife Helen after she eloped with Paris.
