In Greek mythology, Hybris (/ˈhaɪbrɪs/; Ancient Greek: Ὕβρις, lit. 'wanton violence', 'insolence')^[1] was the personification of insolence. According to the mythographer Apollodorus the god Apollo "learned the art of prophecy from Pan, the son of Zeus and Hybris (Ὕβρεως)".^[2] Whether this Pan is the same as Pan, the god of shepherds and flocks, who was usually said to be the son of Hermes is unclear.^[3]
