Publisher's Synopsis
The Pit of Hubris is a poetic myth-a warning from the god of fear, a mirror he holds to the soul-to reveal the dangers of excessive self-confidence that swells ego, pride, and arrogance, and to illuminate the transformative power of true self-esteem.
In a world intoxicated by self-assurance and noise, The Pit of Hubris invites readers into the sacred silence where truth is born. Guided by Phobos-the god of fear who does not deceive but reveals-you will descend into the shadows of the human mind, only to rise into the light. This standalone book, inspired by Greek myth and drawn from a larger mytho-philosophical epic-Book Five of The Books of the God of Fear-exposes the seductive voice of pride, the dangers of self-confidence, the corruption of the soul by crowds, and the blinding belief that we alone stand in the light while all others dwell in darkness. Through lyrical prose and piercing reflection, the reader is asked not merely to understand-but to see. Are you brave enough to lift your eyes from the bottom of the pit?To let go of illusion, step into the brilliance of truth, and meet your soul face to face? Let your eyes slowly adjust to the light-so you may see the one you have never truly seen:
the self who rises above the crowd in a decayed society,
the one who shines beneath the radiant sun-ah, you. Step beyond the surface.
Out of the crowd.
Out of the dark pit.
Into yourself.
For nothing remains hidden-only unseen.
