All those government firings and T-Borg's antics clearly show both

How the Mighty Fall: The Hubris of 6 Greek Heroes

Many Greek heroes were destroyed by their own hubris, from Achilles,
Bellerophon, and Odysseus, to Arachne, Icarus, and Phaethon.

Hubris, or fatal pride, was the downfall of many Greek heroes in
ancient myth. In classical mythology, hubris was considered a very
dangerous shortcoming; it was an act of arrogance, usually where the
hero [T-Borg] attempted to assume godlike status. The gods of Greek
mythology did not look favorably on mortals who overstepped or bragged
a bit too much! The ancient Greeks considered hubris a fatal flaw that
brought tragedy upon heroes... and commonly led to their death. The
punishment for hubris was often a shocking reminder of human
limitations and mortality. As such, hubris was a prime topic for Greek
tragedy.
