Prideful Greeks

I see the Greeks as more humanists then the Hebrews.  For example the Greeks vocabulary was full of words, and phrases that promoted themselves, such as “this great empire” (WoH 105), “our homes are beautiful and elegant” (WoH 106), “Then, again, our military training is in many respects superior to that of our adversaries” (WoH 1060 A first rate example of pride.  They also said “The Thracians, I thought, made as fine a show as the procession as our own people,” (WoH 110) which shows pride at least in people if not in themselves.  It is clear to an viewer, however, that the Hebrews weren’t quite as prideful based on there obedience and reliance on God proven by phrases such as “He leads me” (WoH 221), and “You prepare a table before me” (WoH 222)
