Ὁ δὲ μὴ δυνάμενος κοινωνεῖν ἢ μηδὲν δεόμενος δι' αὐτάρκειαν οὐθὲν μέρος πόλεως, ὥστε θηρίον θεός → Whoever is incapable of associating, or has no need to because of self-sufficiency, is no part of a state; so he is either a beast or a god

Aristotle, Politics, 1253a25

Greek Monolingual

η ματαιόδοξος
1. έπαρση για μικρά και ασήμαντα πράγματα, κενοδοξία, ματαιοφροσύνη
2. επιδίωξη μάταιης δόξας, που δεν αντιπροσωπεύει πραγματικά χαρίσματα ή προσόντα.
