Help with Odyssey questions dealing with Hubris and Kleos

Question

We were asked the below questions in my language arts class and im just not sure as to how to go about answering them. I would like to see some of other peoples thoughts on them to kind of form an answer around. Dont worry about the evidence part you can include that if you would like but its not necessary.

The Greeks believed that hubris was a punishable offense but supported the desire or drive for kleos. Can the concepts coexist/work together or are they in conflict? Is Odysseus’ desire for kleos reinforced or motivated by his hubris? *Consider whether a leader can possess both and still be a effective. Explain whether you agree or disagree. Use at least three pieces of evidence from the text to support your position/ideas. 

Hubris - Excessive Pride

Kleos - Glory

Thanks!
