Book Synopsis
Hybris is amongst the most often used and mis-used terms from ancient Greece. Professor Fisher traces the use of the concept in literature and law from the time of Homer to that of Aristotle and finds the essence of hybris is the deliberate infliction of dishonour and shame upon others.

Trade Review
With many merits, Fisher has done more than anyone else to promote understanding of the concept of hybris.
