An over-inflated ego is nothing new. The ancient Greek myth of Narcissus has been used for centuries to call out this unsavory behavior. The story is about a handsome young hunter seeking the perfect partner. Several ladies fawn over him, but Narcissus finds each one inferior.
The story ends with Nemesis, the goddess of revenge, leading Narcissus to a pond, where he falls in love with his own reflection, and dies alone.
