Tonight, I read Thamyris, Marsyas, and Melampus. The first was Thamyris, who in search of competition, lost his eyesight. Then, was Marsyas who again, finding himself wuite talented for the flute, challenged Apollo, and was defeated. Melampuse, on the other hand, spoke of a man who could foretell the future thanks to the help of some serpents that granted him the gift of understanding animals. I find that the first two are rather relevant myths. It is true that we shan't ever uderestimate ourselves or others, but one thing we can't do, absolutely, is overestimate ourselves, for our pride and ambition may lead us to great and rather dreadful consequences.
