peer agreement (net): +1self-glorification Explanation: no more than a suggestion I believe a third bad point has to follow It is a list of bad points: ondegelijkheid, charlatanerie, autokléophilie "to be a law unto yourself" and "autonomy" are good points in my opinion Definition: Kleos is a term used in epic poetry that means immortal fame, but can also mean rumor or renown. A Greek soldier can earn kleos through his courage. A monument can bring kleos, as can reports of one's offspring's virtuous deeds http://ancienthistory.about.com/od/kterms/g/102209Kleos.htm kleos - (onsterfelijke) roem kléophilie - (voor)liefde voor (onsterfelijke) roem autokléofiele - het zichzelf graag (onsterfelijke) roem toeschrijven zelfverheerlijking - het roemen op zichzelf of eigen daden |
