complex name - surrounding you with inferior (less talented) people What is the name of the complex of surrounding oneself with inferior (less talented) people to avoid being eclipsed or overcome?

I have a vague memory that it was a Greek naming or one from classic literature, but I cannot conjure it up.
It's not greek, but... Wills classified this as a group behavior, and called it downward social comparison. The gist of the theory is that a person attempts to feel better about him-/herself by socializing and comparing with someone considered performing poorer in areas important to him/her.
