Elmer is right. I was thinking of "hubris" as "humility," sort of.

<< Not that he was shy about expressing his views, or taking a stand, but modest in the ways I associate with classical definitions of hubris.

My dictionary defines hubris as "overbearing pride; arrogance"

"Modest" seems out of place with that definition. Reminds me of Jerry. >>

Yes, I was speaking of the _opposite_ of hubris. I think this has thrown me before, like a word consistently misspelled. Must've been why I got a "B" in the English class where hubris and Greek tragedies were covered.
