“ Kyrnos, this polis is pregnant, and I fear that it will give birth to a man who is a perpetrator of outrage [hubris], a leader [hēgemōn] of dire discord [stasis]- Theognis of Megara (1081–1082b)
The citizens are moderate, but the leaders [hēgemones] have veered so much as to fall into debasement [kakotēs]. ”
