First off, Hubris and arrogance are DIFFERENT. Totally different. Arrogance is more of I'M THE BEST! NO ONE CAN BEAT ME! Hubris is more of okay I'm good. I can do this. Basically, Hubris is the trait of never standing down to a challenge because you think it should be easy for you, also sometimes gloating over victory- this is evident with Annabeth in Mark of Athena when she has defeated Arachne. So Annabeth has Hubris- she is not arrogant. I also saw someone say it is just a trait she picked up. Bull. ALL HEROES HAVE A FATAL FLAW. Hers, is Hubris. Would you say Loyalty is a trait Percy picked up > Or keeping grudges is a trait Nico picked up, when it is clearly stated as the fatal flaw of most Children of Hades and indeed Hades himself? Number 1. I disagree. They are one and the same thing. Hubris is literally deadly pride. Annabeth thinks that she can things better than anyone else, even the gods. She admitted to that herself. And I don't hate for that, in fact, I admire her confidence.
