If there isnt, you can include history or modern times but it has to be arrogance after only ONE success (any kind of success)

King Midas.
He became arrogant after asking for the golden touch.
True, he wasn't exactly kind before that, but the wish he was granted took him over the edge.

Icarus flying too close to the sun (it's also a parable about listening to parents).
There are a plethora of examples of Greek arrogance after only ONE success. Look at Euro 2004.

Odysseus from Homer's "The Odyssey." He became arrogant and prideful after his victories in the Trojan War and thanked only himself and not the gods. This is why it took him so long to get home from the war and why he suffered as he did during his journey.

I can't think of the guys name but this is the charecter I thought of when reading your question. There was this guy that looked into a pond and saw his reflection and refused to leave the pond because he fell in love with himself. It kind of fits your question.

Promethus discovered fire and look what they did to him. He must have gotten a bit arrogant about it. Chained to a rock for eternity with birds pecking at him. Dem gods must be crazy.
