In a very historical sense, worldwide, humans confused success with coming from a divine place.
Even before the written age, you had humans in nomadic tribal groups who were convinced that because they lead and bread, that somehow magical favor was shining down on them.
The "full of themselves" is a psychological choice between fight or flight. In antiquity when you won, you falsely attributed your success to what amounts to a comic book desire of human qualities in super hero form. If you lost, then the volcano or the deer, the ocean god, was simply a different form of your own qualities in insecurities.
All humans can relate to is our own species. What we don't see is that we want control over our environments like any other species.
