The episode's title "Homo Homini Lupis", which is in Latin, is actually meaningless as the word "lupis" has no meaning in Latin (an English translation of the title would be "Man is a Lupis to a Man"). Presumably a mistake was made and the title was supposed to be "Homo Homini Lupus Est", meaning "Man is a Wolf to a Man". The title would then have been a famous quote from Thomas Hobbes (echoing a line from a play by Plautus) claiming that men are inherently selfish.
