EP011_EN_Enceladus - how to control excessive pride
from OLYMPUS - cosmos, miths and self-awareness · host A. Carminati
Enceladus is a small, icy moon of Saturn with deep oceans. In Greek mythology, he is one of the Giants, born from Gaia when the blood ofUranus fell to the ground after he was castrated by Cronus. He took part in thewar between the Giants and the Olympian gods, and after being defeated byAthena, he was crushed under a huge mound of earth, which in the myth becamethe Italian island of Sicily.Enceladus embodies rebellion against authority and theestablished order—an attitude that turns into arrogance and excessive pride,typical of those who try to overstep the limits imposed by nature. It is a kindof pride that, even in everyday life, often pushes us—blinded by an inflatedego—to undertake endeavors against everything and everyone, inevitably leadingto a resounding downfall. Enceladus serves as a reminder that should encourageus toward balanced self‑assessment and a healthy attitude toward the world.
