“The Egyptian hierarchy was a lot like the pyramids that they built. At the very top of this social structure was the pharaoh and their gods.” Many people thought the pharaoh was a god, so, he took the place of being a god, next to all the rest.

Throughout Greek mythology almost every myth includes situations with mortals and the gods interacting. Often times the gods and goddesses of Olympus were forced to put mortals in their place, or in a way, make apparent that they are immortal while man is mortal. In these tales hubris often played a part, as some mortals displayed excessive pride often used in defiance of the gods. In most of those situations the consequences were swift and relentless; as opposed to killing transgressors, the gods
