The best example is when Achilles fights the River god. It is only a minor god but it is still way too powerful for Achilles to fight. The Hubris lies in the fact that Achilles even tries. He is, however, cut down a notch when he fails miserably.

If you can't tell where exaggerated pride or self-confidence is protrayed in the Illiad, you either
a) Haven't read it.
b) Haven't seen the movie
c) Have problems actually USING your mental faculties to think
d) Have NO problems with choice (c), but are too lazy to do it.
