Hubris
Ah how shameless--the way these mortals blame the gods. From us alone, they say, come all their miseries, yes, but they themselves, with their own reckless ways, compound their pains beyond their proper share.
That's Zeus speaking, in rare public apppearance, in Homer's Odyssey. And should you view world religions as a needed crowd control device to keep you and yours in line, Zeus below is depicted practicing his aim with his lightning bolt. So be good.
